• In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, tzatziki sauce, fresh parsley, olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste for a spicy, creamy sauce.

• Layer the sliced grilled steak on top of the couscous salad.
• Drizzle the spicy tzatziki chimichurri sauce over the steak and couscous.
