Ingredients
For the Bowls:
-
1 lb. flank steak (substitute NY strip or sirloin steak)
-
1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes
-
½ medium red onion, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
-
1 head romaine lettuce, chopped (about 10–12 cups)
-
1 large cucumber, chopped
-
⅓ cup pitted kalamata olives, sliced
-
1 cup garlic hummus (or store-bought of choice)
-
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
-
2 tsp. oil of choice (olive oil or avocado oil recommended)
-
Skewers for grilling veggies
-
Lemon wedges and/or torn fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
For the Herbed-Yogurt Dressing:
-
1 cup plain yogurt
-
1 Tbsp. olive oil or avocado oil
-
Juice of ½ lemon
-
1 large clove garlic, finely minced
-
½ tsp. dried oregano
-
½ tsp. dried dill
-
½ tsp. salt
-
2 tsp. chopped fresh mint (or ½ tsp dried mint)
Instructions
-
Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, dill, salt, and mint. Store in the fridge until ready to use (up to 5 days).
-
Prep the Grill: Preheat grill to high heat (about 450°F). Pat the steak dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
-
Prep the Veggies: Thread tomatoes and red onion onto skewers. Brush with oil and season with salt and pepper.
-
Grill: Place the steak and veggie skewers on the hot grill. Grill veggies for 5–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until blistered and softened. Grill steak 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare (or 6–7 minutes per side for medium), or until internal temp reads 140°F to 150°F.
-
Rest the Steak: Remove steak and let it rest, covered loosely, for 10 minutes. Then slice thinly against the grain.
-
Assemble the Bowls: Divide romaine between 4 bowls. Top with sliced steak, grilled veggies, cucumbers, hummus, olives, and feta. Drizzle with herbed-yogurt dressing and garnish with lemon wedges and/or mint if using.
Notes
-
No grill? Use your oven’s broiler instead! Broil the steak and skewers on a baking sheet about 6–8 inches from the heat until done to your liking. Cooking time may vary slightly.
-
Want to go vegetarian? Swap the steak for falafel or grilled halloumi.
-
This dressing is incredible—make extra and use it on salads or wraps during the week!
