Instructions

In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the steak slices and coat them well. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the steak. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed. Set aside.
Divide the quinoa or brown rice between serving bowls. Arrange the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta cheese around the bowl.
Top with sliced steak and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Drizzle with the dressing and add a dollop of hummus if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Swap the protein: Try grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas for a vegetarian option.
Make it low-carb: Use cauliflower rice instead of quinoa or brown rice.
Extra crunch: Add toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds.
Spice it up: Drizzle with a little harissa or chili flakes for extra heat.
