Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound flank steak or sirloin, trimmed
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced lengthwise into thin strips
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing zucchini and steak)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice (optional base)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped (or substitute with basil)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  2. Slice zucchinis lengthwise into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, parsley, dill, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Stir well and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  4. Heat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until very hot (about 5 minutes). Grill steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare or until desired doneness. Let rest 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  5. Grill zucchini strips for about 2 minutes per side until tender and lightly charred.
  6. If using, spoon cooked quinoa or rice into bowls. Arrange grilled zucchini and sliced steak over the grains.
  7. Drizzle creamy herb sauce on top or serve on the side. Garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Let the steak rest after grilling to retain juices. Do not overcrowd the grill pan to ensure proper charring. Fresh herbs are preferred for the sauce; if using dried, reduce quantity and let sauce sit for 10 minutes. For dairy-free sauce, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and add avocado for creaminess.
