This Mediterranean Steak Bowl is going to be my new go-to recipe when I’m craving a veggie and protein-packed dinner. I love all the fresh flavors of the mediterranean cuisine and this Mediterranean Steak Bowl is incredible! I have been happy dancing because my garden has a good amount of fresh dill growing, so we’re really loving making my dill yogurt sauce. It goes sooo perfectly with this bowl, along with pickled red onions, hummus, Kalamata olives, pepperoncinis, and more. This recipe is a keeper for sure.

Ingredients for Mediterranean Steak Bowl

Skirt steak

Olive oil

Garlic cloves – always opt for fresh garlic, not pre-minced! The flavor is so much better.

Granulated onion, salt

Pickled red onion – I have a homemade recipe that’s super easy and healthy.

Feta cheese

Hummus

Cucumber

Tomato

Kalamata olives

Dill yogurt sauce: yogurt, dill, lemon, salt

How to make a Mediterranean Steak Bowl

If homemaking your own pickled red onion, then do that before anything else to give it time to sit.
Marinate the steak: Rub the steak with the olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic cloves then sprinkle both sides with granulated onion and salt. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to 12 hours.
Prep the dill yogurt sauce by mixing all ingredients in a medium bowl.
Prep all the veggies as instructed.
Cook the skirt steak: Cut the steak into 3 or 4 pieces so that it’ll all fit into a large skillet. Preheat a skillet to medium-high heat or a little above medium if your stove runs hot (I have an electric stove and just a little above medium works better for me for this!). Make sure it’s properly preheated so that you get a nice sear on the steak when you place it in. Once preheated, add avocado oil to prevent sticking, then lay the skirt steak down into the pan (be careful because it will sizzle). Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until the internal temp reads 145ºF (medium-rare). I recommend cooking the thinner edge pieces for a little less time than the thicker pieces (the thin pieces on mine only took 3 minutes on each side). Remove the skirt steak from the pan, let it rest 10 minutes, then thinly slice it, and make sure to go against the grain so that it’s more tender.
To serve: Put a bed of lettuce, cucumber, tomato, and a big spoonful of hummus at the bottom of a shallow bowl. Top with the sliced skirt steak, Kalamata olives, pepperoncini, a good helping of pickled red onion, crumbled feta, and a big spoonful of the dill yogurt sauce.

Modifications

I kept the steak seasoning very minimal because I just love the authentic flavor of steak – but feel free to add more seasoning if desired – whether it’s dried herbs like rosemary or oregano or warm spices like paprika or cumin.
Add a grain of choice for a heartier meal – farro, quinoa, brown rice, etc.
If you are dairy-free, then omit the feta cheese and replace the dill yogurt sauce with this delicious Lemon Tahini Sauce.
