Why You’ll Love It

Really tasty: This salad offers a little of everything – tender steak, juicy salad veggies, hummus, feta cheese, and more. It tastes as good as a restaurant quality meal.
Easy to prepare: You just need to cook the steak, roast the tomatoes and onions, and add those plus the other salad ingredients to serving bowls. Using store bought hummus and tzatziki reduces prep time.
A nutritious meal option: While the steak offers protein, iron, vitamin B12, niacin, selenium, and zinc, the salad ingredients are also healthy, making this a balanced lunch or dinner choice. It’s also gluten-free.

Mediterranean Steak Bowl Ingredients

A complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.

Steak: Flank steak or skirt steak work well here, or you could use another cut if you prefer, perhaps filet mignon or sirloin steak.
Vegetables: Grape or cherry tomatoes, red onion, salad greens, and cucumber add plenty of flavor, nutrients and pops of color to each Mediterranean steak bowl.
Salad greens: Choose from chopped romaine lettuce, iceberg, baby spinach, or a bag of mixed salad leaves.
Hummus and tzatziki: Greek dips which are so good with this salad. I like a garlicky hummus.
Feta cheese: Salty feta cheese brings a salty, creamy touch and perfect contrast with the steak and vegetables.
Avocado: Adds a nutty, creamy richness.
Kalamata olives: These offer a briny flavor.
Dried oregano: Use fresh if preferred.

Roast the tomatoes and onions: Toss the tomatoes with the onion, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Arrange on a sheet pan and roast. Let this tomato mixture cool.

Serve and enjoy: Garnish with lemon wedges before serving if liked.

Grains: Add grains like cooked farro, couscous, rice, or quinoa.
Feta: Swap the salty feta cheese for another type of cheese.
Dairy-free option: Use a dairy-free cheese alternative or omit the feta completely for a dairy-free option (check the ingredients in the tzatziki and hummus too).
Salad greens: Use your favorite salad greens.
Fresh herbs: Add fresh mint, dill or oregano.
Extra veggies: Include roasted zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms, eggplant, or artichoke hearts.

Top Tips

Pitted olives: Save time by using pitted olives rather than pitting your own.
Room temperature steak: Set the steak on the counter for 30 to 45 minutes before you begin, for even searing.
Steak doneness: It helps to use an instant-read meat thermometer (this one’s great!) to check the doneness: aim for 130 to 135°F for medium-rare or 135 to 145°F for medium.
Slicing the steak: Make sure you’re slicing thinly across the grain, so you cut across the long fibers of the meat not with them. This gives a more tender result.

Mediterranean Steak Bowl FAQs

Is this recipe meal prep friendly?

Yes it is. Roast the tomatoes and onions and cook the steak. Store the vegetables and steak separately in the fridge for up to 3 days. That way, it’s a quick and easy lunch or dinner to throw together whenever you like.

What is tzatziki?

This creamy Greek yogurt dressing has garlic, lemon, cucumber, and herbs. You can find it in the grocery store or whip up your own herbed yogurt dressing (I love this homemade tzatziki recipe!)
