Description
A hearty and flavorful grilled steak bowl topped with smoky zucchini and a tangy, creamy herb sauce. This dish delivers steakhouse flavor in a cozy, customizable bowl — perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep.
Ingredients
1 pound steak (flank, ribeye, or sirloin)
2 medium zucchinis, sliced into thick rounds
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh herbs (chives or parsley), chopped
2 cups cooked rice or mashed potatoes
Instructions
1. Pat the steak dry and season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Let rest at room temperature for 15–20 minutes.
2. In a bowl, whisk together sour cream or Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, chopped herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate the sauce.
3. Toss zucchini slices in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill until tender and lightly charred, about 2–3 minutes per side. Set aside.
4. Heat a grill pan or skillet with a bit of oil. Cook steak for 3–4 minutes per side for medium rare. Rest 5–10 minutes, then slice against the grain.
5. Build the bowl: start with cooked rice or mashed potatoes, layer grilled zucchini, add steak slices, and drizzle with creamy herb sauce. Garnish with extra herbs.
Notes
Always rest your steak after cooking to keep it juicy.
Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness—130°F for medium rare.
Make the sauce ahead of time for deeper flavor.
