Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz sirloin steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice (cooled)
  • 1 cup baby spinach leaves
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • ½ avocado, sliced
  • ¼ cup sliced cucumber
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt (plain or dairy-free)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the thinly sliced sirloin steak in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then sprinkle smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Let sit for about 10 minutes to marinate (optional but recommended).
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until very hot (about 3-4 minutes). Add steak strips in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook for about 2 minutes per side until browned but still juicy. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
  3. Prepare the bowl base by rinsing spinach leaves and chopping cherry tomatoes, carrots, avocado, and cucumber. Ensure quinoa or rice is cooked and cooled.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Assemble the bowl by layering quinoa or rice, spinach, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, cucumber slices, and avocado. Top with warm steak strips and drizzle with dressing. Toss gently if desired.

Notes

Marinate steak strips for at least 10 minutes to enhance flavor. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure proper searing. Rest steak after cooking to keep juices locked in. Cutting steak against the grain improves tenderness. Use fresh lemon juice in dressing for best flavor. Store components separately for meal prep and combine before eating.
