Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 cup chopped cucumber
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

- For the dressing: 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 clove garlic minced, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a bowl, combine flank steak, 2 tablespoons olive oil, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Grill steak for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- While the steak rests, prepare the dressing: Whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked quinoa among serving bowls. Top with sliced steak, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.

Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute grilled halloumi cheese or chickpeas for the steak.
- You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or red onion.
