Ingredients

For the Steak

  • 5 oz sirloin steak (raw weight)
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp unsalted butter

For the Bowl

Instructions

  1. Season the steak. Pat the steak dry and season both sides with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper.

  3. Add the butter. During the final minute of cooking, add butter to the skillet and spoon it over the steak. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  4. Assemble the bowl. Add cooked couscous to a bowl. Arrange sliced steak, avocado, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, feta, olives and red onion on top.
  5. Finish and serve. Spoon tzatziki over the steak and enjoy!
