1 cup quinoa or brown rice both provide hearty texture and nutritious fiber; quinoa is gluten-free

2 tablespoons olive oil use high-quality extra virgin for maximum flavor and heart health benefits
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar adds a sweet and tangy note that complements the fresh ingredients beautifully

Begin by bringing a medium saucepan of water to a boil, then add 1 cup of quinoa or brown rice. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and let it cook for about 15–20 minutes until tender. Once cooked, set aside and keep warm.
While the grains are cooking, take 1 lb of steak and season it generously with salt and pepper. Allow it to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Heat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Once hot, add the seasoned steak and cook for around 4–5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
After reaching your ideal doneness, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5–10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes, 1 cup of diced cucumber, and 1 cup of diced red bell pepper. Add ¼ cup of crumbled feta cheese, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Toss everything gently.
Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips. Serve the sliced steak over the warm grains in each bowl, then top generously with the vibrant vegetable mixture.

Use fresh, seasonal vegetables for the best flavor and nutrition. Adjust olive oil and balsamic vinegar according to preference.
