Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) flank or sirloin steak, thinly sliced (look for grass-fed if possible)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups (120 g) mixed greens (spinach, arugula, or baby kale)
  • 1 cup (150 g) cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 medium avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup (35 g) shredded carrots
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, toasted pumpkin seeds or sliced almonds, red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak dry with paper towels. In a bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the steak slices in the mixture until evenly coated. Let rest for 5-10 minutes.
  2. Cook quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions (quinoa takes about 15 minutes simmering in 2 cups water). Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed and set aside.
  4. Heat skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add steak slices in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Cook about 2 minutes per side until browned but still juicy. Remove steak and let rest for a couple of minutes.
  5. In a large bowl, arrange mixed greens as base. Add cooked quinoa or rice, then layer seared steak slices, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, and avocado slices.
  6. Drizzle dressing over the bowl. Toss gently or leave as topping. Sprinkle optional toppings like parsley, toasted seeds, or red pepper flakes.
  7. Serve immediately while steak is warm and veggies fresh. For meal prep, keep components separate and combine before serving.

Notes

Pat steak dry before seasoning for better browning. Cook steak in batches to avoid steaming. Let steak rest after cooking to lock in juices. Slice steak thinly against the grain for tenderness. Adjust dressing seasoning gradually. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or tahini-lemon dressing. For low-carb, swap quinoa/rice with cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles.
