A hearty grilled steak bowl with smoky zucchini and tangy creamy herb sauce. Restaurant-quality flavor in a customizable bowl perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound steak (flank, ribeye, or sirloin)
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into thick rounds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (chives or parsley), chopped
  • 2 cups cooked rice or mashed potatoes

Instructions

  1. Pat steak dry and season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Let rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cooking for even heat penetration.
  2. Whisk together sour cream or Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, chopped herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate until serving.
  3. Toss zucchini slices in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill on medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side until tender and charred. Set aside.
  4. Heat grill pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat (around 400°F) until oil shimmers. Cook steak 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare (130°F internal temperature). Steak will rise to 135°F as it rests. Rest 5-10 minutes after cooking, then slice against the grain.
  5. Start with cooked rice or mashed potatoes, layer grilled zucchini, add steak slices, and drizzle with creamy herb sauce. Garnish with extra herbs.

Notes

  • Best cuts: flank steak, ribeye, or New York strip. Sirloin works as budget option. Slice against grain for tenderness.
  • Use meat thermometer for perfect doneness. Pull at 130°F for medium rare – it will rise to 135°F during rest.
  • Make sauce ahead for deeper flavor. Greek yogurt creates tangier flavor than sour cream. Substitute plant-based yogurt for dairy-free version.
  • Can substitute bell peppers, asparagus, or eggplant for zucchini. Steak stays most tender when stored whole and sliced before reheating.
