¼ cup fresh herbs (parsley or dill, chopped)

Instructions

Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Coat the sirloin steak evenly with the marinade mixture. Allow it to marinate for 30 minutes to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
In another mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly and chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated steak in the hot skillet for about 4–5 minutes per side until it reaches your desired doneness. Let it rest before slicing thinly against the grain.
Start by layering your choice of cooked grains at the bottom of each serving bowl. Top with sliced steak and a variety of fresh toppings like cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, feta cheese (if using), and fresh herbs. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and vinaigrette before serving.
