A hearty yet light grilled steak bowl featuring smoky zucchini, fresh toppings, and customizable options for a healthy and delicious meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak or ribeye steak
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into thick rounds
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
  • Your choice of dressing (balsamic vinaigrette or chimichurri)

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, toss the zucchini rounds with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Make sure they’re evenly coated.
  3. Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a grill, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer if needed; 135°F (57°C) is ideal for medium-rare.
  5. While the steak rests, place the zucchini rounds on the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they’re tender and have beautiful grill marks.
  6. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice it against the grain into thin strips.
  7. Start with a base of rice or quinoa. Arrange the sliced steak, grilled zucchini, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and feta on top. Drizzle with your chosen dressing and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro.

Notes

Let the steak rest after grilling to ensure juicy bites. Avoid overcooking the zucchini to maintain its texture.
