Instructions

Mix marinade ingredients and coat the steak. Marinate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
Mix tzatziki ingredients in a bowl and chill in the fridge.
Whisk together vinaigrette ingredients until emulsified.
Sear steak in a hot skillet or grill pan for 4–5 minutes per side until desired doneness. Let rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly.
Layer cooked grains, sliced steak, and toppings in a bowl. Add tzatziki and drizzle with vinaigrette.

Notes

Allow the steak to rest before slicing to retain juices.
Customize toppings based on your preferences.
Use coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option in tzatziki.
For a lower carb option, replace grains with additional vegetables.
