Ingredients
Method
Marinate the Steak
- In a bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Coat the sirloin steak with the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours for optimal flavor.
Prepare the Tzatziki
- While the steak is marinating, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, and seasoning in a separate bowl. Chill this while you cook the steak.
Mix the Vinaigrette
- In another bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey (if using), minced garlic, oregano, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Cook the Steak
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated steak for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare to medium doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check—it should register 125°F to 130°F for medium-rare and 135°F for medium.
Slice the Steak
- Once cooked, let the steak rest for 5 to 10 minutes on a cutting board. This allows the juices to redistribute. Then, slice thinly against the grain.
Assemble the Bowls
- Divide the cooked grains among bowls and top each with the sliced steak, roasted chickpeas (if using), cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, feta, and fresh herbs.
Finish with Sauce
- Drizzle with tzatziki and the vinaigrette you prepared earlier. Adjust seasoning with salt or lemon to taste.

Notes
For serving suggestions, consider adding a side of warm pita bread for scooping, or serve it with a light Greek salad. Fresh mint or basil as an additional garnish would offer a refreshing twist. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days, keeping sauces separate until serving.
