Instructions

Marinate the steak in olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare tzatziki by mixing Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper.
Sear the marinated steak in a hot cast iron skillet for about 4–5 minutes on each side until desired doneness is achieved. Let it rest before slicing.
Assemble the bowl: layer grains as the base, top with sliced steak and vegetables, drizzle with tzatziki sauce.
