Description
A hearty and flavor-packed Grilled Steak Bowl made with juicy steak, smoky grilled zucchini, creamy herb sauce, and fluffy mashed potatoes or rice. Perfect for busy weeknights, cozy dinners, or easy 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 (parsley or chives), chopped
- 2 cups cooked rice or mashed potatoes
Instructions
- Pat the steak dry and season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Let rest at room temperature for 15–20 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk together sour cream or Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, chopped herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate the sauce while cooking.
- Toss zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for 2–3 minutes per side until tender and lightly charred.
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Cook steak for 3–4 minutes per side for medium rare.
- Rest the steak for 5–10 minutes, then slice against the grain.
- Build the bowls with rice or mashed potatoes, grilled zucchini, sliced steak, and creamy herb sauce. Garnish with extra herbs and serve warm.
Notes
Always rest the steak after cooking to keep it juicy and tender.
Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness:
- 130°F for medium rare
- 140°F for medium
- 150°F for medium well
The creamy herb sauce tastes even better when made a few hours ahead.
Pre-cooked steak can be used for a quicker weeknight version.
