- ½ red onion (thinly sliced)
- ½ cup kalamata olives (pitted)
- ⅓ cup feta cheese (crumbled; optional)
- ¼ cup fresh herbs (parsley or dill, chopped)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain; or coconut yogurt)
- ½ cucumber (grated and squeezed dry)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (fresh)

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the marinade ingredients: olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Coat the sirloin steak in the marinade and let it sit for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
- While the steak is marinating, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In another bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well and chill in the fridge.
- For the vinaigrette, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey (if using), minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated steak for 4–5 minutes on each side until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly.
- Layer your serving bowl starting with a portion of cooked grains, followed by sliced steak and your choice of toppings. Add tzatziki and vinaigrette on top.
