It’s my roadmap to fresh bliss. I always double-check my stash before I start—it’s my ritual to stay chill. Nothing’s worse than missing parsley mid-prep, right? Keeps me in the groove and ready to cook.
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Steak
Let’s get sizzling—season 1 lb steak (flank or sirloin) with salt and pepper to taste (I love that simple kick!). Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high—cook 4-5 minutes per side ‘til it’s just how you like it (my kitchen’s humming with steak vibes!). Rest it 5 minutes—slice it thin (my heart races for that juiciness!). It’s the star—pure savory magic!
Step 2: Prep the Veggies
While the steak chills, grab a bowl—toss in 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes, 1 diced cucumber, ½ cup thinly sliced red onion, and ½ cup diced yellow bell pepper (I grin at that rainbow!). Add a pinch of salt and ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley—mix lightly (my kitchen’s a veggie party!). Sneak a taste—I won’t tell (my heart’s dancing with freshness!).
Step 3: Make the Yogurt Sauce
In a small bowl, mix ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 minced garlic clove, ¼ tsp paprika, ¼ tsp cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper—stir ‘til smooth (I love that creamy tang!). Taste and tweak—set aside (my spoon’s ready for a dip!). It’s the magic sauce—pure Mediterranean delight!
Step 4: Assemble the Bowls
Time to build—split the veggie mix into 4 bowls (I feel like an artist!). Layer on sliced steak—dollop that yogurt sauce generously (my heart’s racing for the feast!). It’s coming together—pure bowl bliss!
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle more parsley and chopped almonds or nuts if you like (I love that crunch!). Serve warm or room temp—dig in (that first bite’s pure joy, and you made it happen!). Enjoy with friends or solo—it’s a winner either way (my table’s a feast!).
