- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- For the bowl:
- Cooked quinoa or couscous

Instructions
- Marinate the steak: Rub steak with olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 20–30 minutes.
- Cook the steak: Grill or sear steak over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly across the grain.
- Prepare the dressing: In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide romaine, quinoa/couscous, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and olives between bowls. Top with steak, hummus, feta, and dressing. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Swap grains: use farro, brown rice, or cauliflower rice.
- Change the protein: grilled chicken, lamb, or crispy chickpeas work great.
- Add toppings: try avocado, roasted red peppers, or a soft-boiled egg.
- Sauce swap: use tzatziki or tahini dressing for a flavor twist.
- Prep tip: store components separately and assemble bowls fresh for best texture.
