Instructions

Marinate the sirloin steak with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the tzatziki by mixing Greek yogurt with grated cucumber, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, salt, and pepper; refrigerate.
Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey (optional), garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette.
Sear the marinated steak in a hot skillet for 4–5 minutes on each side; let it rest before slicing.
Assemble your bowl with cooked grains as the base followed by sliced steak and your choice of toppings: cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, feta (if using), herbs, tzatziki sauce, and drizzle with vinaigrette.
