Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb steak (ribeye or sirloin), about 1-inch thick Ribeye for richer flavor; sirloin is leaner.
  • 2 medium zucchinis Choose medium-sized for attractive grill marks.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For grilling zucchini.
  • 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa Per two bowls.
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt Use plain for creaminess.
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or cilantro), finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Remove the steak from the fridge 20–30 minutes before cooking to bring it closer to room temperature.
  • Cook your rice or quinoa according to package instructions.
  • Trim the zucchini ends and prepare minced garlic, chopped herbs, and lemon juice.

Grilling the Steak

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400–450°F).
  • Pat the steak dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Grill the steak for about 5–7 minutes per side for medium-rare; adjust time as needed.
  • Remove the steak and let it rest covered with foil for 5–10 minutes.

Grilling the Zucchini

  • Slice zucchinis lengthwise into 1/3-inch thick planks.
  • Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Grill for 3–4 minutes per side until tender and marked.

Making the Herb Sauce

  • In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, chopped herbs, lemon juice, and minced garlic.
  • Stir until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Add water or oil if a thinner consistency is desired.

Assembling the Bowl

  • Slice the rested steak thinly across the grain.
  • In each bowl, place a base of rice or quinoa, topped with sliced steak and grilled zucchini.
  • Drizzle with herb sauce and garnish as desired.

Notes

Store leftover components separately. Grilled zucchini doesn't freeze well. For best flavor, prepare herb sauce a day ahead.
