Ingredients
Scale
Marinated Steak:
- 1 pound flank steak or sirloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Couscous:
- 1 cup dry couscous
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (for couscous)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil (for couscous)
Salad:
- 1 head lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1 cup chopped cucumber
- 1/2 cup sliced Kalamata olives
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup hummus
- Extra olive oil and balsamic vinegar or lemon juice for dressing
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Add steak, turning to coat, and marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 12 hours in the refrigerator.
- Cook the Couscous: Bring water to a boil with salt and olive oil. Stir in couscous, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes; fluff with a fork.
- Cook the Steak: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to desired doneness. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
- Prepare the Salad: Toss lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and olives with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice or balsamic vinegar; season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Bowls: Spread hummus in each bowl, add a scoop of couscous, top with salad, steak slices, feta, and parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For gluten-free, substitute quinoa or brown rice for couscous.
- For dairy-free, omit the feta or use a plant-based alternative.
- Add tzatziki or yogurt-mint sauce for extra flavor.
