Instructions
Creating the Healthy Steak Bowl Inspired by the Mediterranean Diet is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to bring this delicious meal to life:
1. Prepare the Quinoa: If you haven’t done so yet, cook the quinoa according to package instructions and set aside to cool.
2. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the flank steak. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
3. Cook the Steak: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated flank steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest.
4. Slice the Steak: Once rested, slice the steak thinly against the grain.
5. Assemble the Bowl: In a large bowl, layer cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and avocado slices.
6. Add Steak: Top the quinoa and vegetable mixture with the sliced steak.
7. Garnish: Finish off with fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve: Mix gently and serve in bowls.
These straightforward steps will guide you in creating a healthy and satisfying meal that everyone will love.
