Ingredients

Scale

Steak and Vegetables

  • 1 pound Flank, Ribeye, or New York Strip steak (sirloin can be used as a budget-friendly substitute)
  • 2 medium Zucchini (or substitute with bell peppers or asparagus)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (for grilling)
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder

Sauce

  • 1 cup Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt (plant-based yogurt for dairy-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard (optional, adds tanginess)
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (chives or parsley, chopped)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Base

  • 2 cups Cooked Jasmine Rice or Mashed Potatoes (cauliflower mash for low-carb option)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Pat the steak dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Let the steak rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to enhance flavor and cooking consistency.
  2. Make the Herb Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together sour cream or Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, fresh herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  3. Prepare and Grill Zucchini: Slice the zucchini into even pieces. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper to coat. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill zucchini for 2-3 minutes on each side until softened and charred.
  4. Grill the Steak: Preheat a grill pan with olive oil over medium-high heat. Grill the seasoned steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness, adjusting time for preferred doneness. Once cooked, transfer steak to a plate and let rest for 5-10 minutes to retain juices.
  5. Assemble the Bowl: Place cooked jasmine rice or mashed potatoes as the base in each serving bowl. Top with grilled zucchini and thinly sliced steak. Drizzle generously with the prepared herb sauce for a creamy, flavorful finish.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based yogurt instead of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  • Substitute zucchini with other grill-friendly vegetables like bell peppers or asparagus based on preference.
  • Adjust grilling times depending on steak thickness and desired doneness.
  • Try cauliflower mash as a lower-carb alternative to potatoes.
  • Fresh herbs can be varied to include dill, tarragon, or cilantro for different flavor profiles.
