Instructions

Marinate the steak: In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Coat the steak in this marinade and let it sit for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
Prepare tzatziki: In another bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, and seasoning. Chill in the fridge.
Whisk the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients until well blended.
Sear the steak: Preheat a skillet on high heat. Sear the marinated steak for 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked to your liking. Let it rest, then slice thinly against the grain.
Assemble the bowl: In serving bowls, layer cooked grains, sliced steak, fresh veggies, roasted chickpeas, olives, and feta (if using). Top with tzatziki and drizzle vinaigrette over everything.
