Instructions

Marinate the Steak: Mix together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the steak and coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours.
Prepare Tzatziki: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dill. Season with salt and pepper, then chill.
Make Vinaigrette: Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Sear the Steak: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your liking. Let it rest before slicing thinly against the grain.
Assemble the Bowl: Layer cooked grains in a bowl, top with sliced steak, roasted chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, onion, olives, and feta. Drizzle with tzatziki and vinaigrette.
