- ½ red onion (thinly sliced)
- ½ cup kalamata olives (pitted)
- ⅓ cup feta cheese (crumbled; optional)
- ¼ cup fresh herbs (parsley or dill, chopped)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain; coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
- ½ cucumber (grated, squeezed dry)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (fresh)

Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the marinade ingredients: 3 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Coat the sirloin steak thoroughly in the marinade, and let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- While your steak is marinating, prepare your tzatziki by mixing Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- For the vinaigrette, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, honey (if using), minced garlic, oregano, and a dash of salt and pepper.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear your marinated steak for about 4–5 minutes on each side.
- Once cooked, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- Layer your bowl with a base of cooked grains, sliced steak, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, kalamata olives, and feta cheese.
- Drizzle with tzatziki and vinaigrette, and sprinkle with freshly chopped herbs.
