Instructions

In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Coat the sirloin steak with the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy, then cover and refrigerate to chill.
Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey (if using), minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper for the vinaigrette.
Heat a skillet over high heat and sear the marinated steak for 4–5 minutes on each side until desired doneness is achieved. Let it rest before slicing thinly.
In a generous bowl, layer cooked grains, sliced steak, and fresh toppings. Drizzle with tzatziki and vinaigrette.
Optional: Sprinkle with fresh parsley or dill for extra freshness.
