Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 lb steak (flank or sirloin) Choose high-quality grass-fed beef for the best flavor and tenderness.
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced Look for firm, vibrant zucchinis; organic is best.
  • 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa Opt for brown rice or quinoa for added nutrients and fiber.
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced Any color works, but red or yellow peppers are sweeter.
  • 1/2 cup onion, sliced Red onion adds color and sweetness, but yellow onions are also great.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Extra virgin olive oil provides the best flavor.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Season to enhance the natural flavors.
  • Fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley) for garnish Adds a fresh, vibrant finish to your bowl.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Allow the steak to come to room temperature for even cooking.
  2. Preheat the grill: Heat to medium-high (about 400°F).
Cooking the steak
  1. Rub the steak with a tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Let sit for a few minutes.
  2. Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare). Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Cooking the vegetables
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine sliced zucchinis, bell pepper, onion, remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  2. Use a grill basket to cook the veggies on the grill for about 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Assembly
  1. Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips.
  2. In a serving bowl, place cooked rice or quinoa. Top with grilled veggies and sliced steak.
  3. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs and serve immediately.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the grill for better heat circulation. Prep ahead by cutting veggies the night before. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
