Instructions
Preparation Steps
Start by marinating the flank steak in a mixture of soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt for about 30 minutes. This will infuse your meat with a rich flavor.
While the steak marinates, cook the quinoa according to package instructions. This will add a hearty base to your bowl.
Preheat your grill on medium-high heat. Once hot, grill the zucchini slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they have nice grill marks and are tender.
Next, grill the marinated flank steak for approximately 5-6 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your preferred doneness.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it against the grain into thin strips.
For the creamy zucchini sauce, combine the sour cream and lemon juice in a small bowl, mixing well until smooth.
Assemble your bowls by starting with a base of quinoa, topping it with grilled zucchini and slices of steak, then drizzling with the creamy sauce.
