Follow these straightforward steps to create your Healthy Steak Bowl Inspired by the Mediterranean Diet:

1. Prepare the Steak: Slice the lean steak into thin strips. Season with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for about 10 minutes.

2. Cook the Quinoa/Rice: If you haven’t done so already, cook the quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions.

3. Cook the Steak: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the marinated steak strips. Cook until browned and cooked to your desired doneness, about 5-7 minutes.

4. Prep the Vegetables: While the steak is cooking, chop the cucumber, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and red onion.

5. Assemble the Bowl: Start with a base of quinoa or brown rice. Layer with cooked steak and top with the diced vegetables.

6. Add Cheese: If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top for added flavor.

7. Drizzle Sauce: Finish with a drizzle of tahini sauce for creaminess and an extra nutrient boost.

8. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.

9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Healthy Steak Bowl warm, or let it cool and pack it for a delicious lunch!
