Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 2 cups baby spinach or mixed greens
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup cucumber slices
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • Pinch of salt
  • Water to thin sauce as needed (about 2-3 tbsp)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • Toasted sesame seeds or pumpkin seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, smoked paprika, and minced garlic. Toss steak strips in marinade and let rest for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour in the fridge.
  2. Cook quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions (about 15 minutes for quinoa). Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, ground cumin, and salt. Slowly add water 1 tbsp at a time until sauce is smooth and pourable.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated steak strips in a single layer and sear 2-3 minutes per side until browned but juicy. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Wash and dry greens, shred carrots, halve cherry tomatoes, slice cucumber, and chop parsley or cilantro.
  6. Assemble the bowl by placing warm quinoa or rice as the base. Arrange greens and veggies on top, then lay steak strips over the bowl.
  7. Drizzle generously with tahini-citrus sauce and sprinkle with toasted seeds if desired.

Notes

Rest the steak after cooking to keep it juicy and tender. Add water slowly to the tahini sauce to achieve the perfect drizzling consistency. Slice steak against the grain for tenderness. Cook steak in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
