Description
A flavorful Grilled Steak Bowl featuring juicy marinated steak and tender grilled zucchini, drizzled with a savory sauce for a delightful experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb flank steak or sirloin
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Your favorite marinade (such as soy sauce or lemon-herb mix)
- Your choice of sauce (homemade vinaigrette or creamy sauce)
Instructions
- Marinate the steak: In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, and your chosen marinades. Add the steak and ensure it’s well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour—ideally overnight.
- Prepare the zucchini: Slice your zucchini into rounds or quarter them lengthwise. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium-high. For best results, ensure it’s well-oiled to prevent sticking.
- Grill the steak: Once the grill is hot, place the marinated steak on it. Cook for about 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Use the instant-read thermometer to check; you’re aiming for 130°F.
- Grill the zucchini: Add the seasoned zucchini to the grill when you flip the steak. Grill for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and slightly charred.
- Rest and slice: Remove both the steak and zucchini from the grill. Let the steak rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Assemble the bowl: In serving bowls, start with a base of grilled zucchini, layer on the sliced steak, and drizzle with your sauce of choice.
Notes
Make-ahead tips: Marinate the steak in advance and pre-slice the zucchini for speedy assembly. Cooking alternatives: If grilling isn’t an option, use a grill pan or roast zucchini in the oven.
