Ingredients

Steak Marinade

  • 1 lb flank steak sliced against the grain
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp dried rosemary or preferred herb
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1 tsp black pepper or to taste

Bowl Ingredients

  • 1 cup farro or another grain like quinoa
  • 1 small cucumber diced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup kalamata olives pitted
  • 6 oz feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 medium avocado sliced, optional

Dressing

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt full-fat or low-fat
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, coriander, smoked paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and add the flank steak, ensuring it’s fully coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
  • Cook farro according to package directions until tender. Drain and set aside once done.
  • Heat a skillet over high heat. Once hot, remove the steak from the marinade and sear for about 4-6 minutes per side, depending on the desired doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked farro, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and kalamata olives together until evenly mixed.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, olive oil, and lemon juice until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.
  • To assemble, divide the farro salad among bowls, top with sliced steak, crumbled feta, and avocado if using. Drizzle with the yogurt dressing over the top and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

For a crunchier texture, consider adding toasted pine nuts or almonds before serving.
These bowls are also great for meal prep; store components separately in the fridge for up to 3 days, and assemble right before eating.
