Ingredients:
1 lb flank steak or sirloin, sliced thin
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp smoked paprika
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Bowl Base:
1 cup cooked rice
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup cucumber, diced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup kalamata olives
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

For the Tzatziki Sauce:
1/2 cup Greek yogurt

Directions:
Marinate the steak: In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, oregano, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add steak slices and marinate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge).
Cook the steak: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook steak slices for about 2-3 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
Make the tzatziki: In a small bowl, mix all the tzatziki ingredients together. Chill until ready to serve.
Assemble the bowl: Divide quinoa or rice among bowls. Top with tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, feta, and steak slices. Drizzle with tzatziki and garnish with fresh parsley.
