Ingredients
- Flank or skirt steak, about 1 to 1.5 pounds
- Olive oil, 3 tablespoons
- Kosher salt, 1 to 1.5 teaspoons
- Black pepper, freshly ground, 1 teaspoon
- Garlic, 3 cloves, minced
- Soy sauce, 2 tablespoons
- Rice vinegar or lemon juice, 1 tablespoon
- Honey or brown sugar, 1 tablespoon
- Greek yogurt or sour cream, 1/3 cup
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, 2 tablespoons chopped
- Zucchini, 2 medium, sliced lengthwise into quarters
- Cooked rice, quinoa, or mixed greens, 4 cups total
- Red onion, thinly sliced, 1 small (optional)
- Cherry tomatoes, halved, 1 cup
- Sesame seeds or toasted nuts, 1 tablespoon (optional)
- Butter, 1 tablespoon (optional)

Instructions
- Pat the steak dry and rub it with olive oil, salt, pepper, and half the minced garlic. Let it sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high. Toss zucchini slices with olive oil and a pinch of salt.

- Add zucchini to the grill, turning once until charred and tender.
- Remove the steak and zucchini from the grill. Let the steak rest for 5 to 10 minutes, then chop zucchini into bite-sized pieces.
- In a bowl, mix remaining garlic, soy sauce, vinegar or lemon juice, honey, and Greek yogurt until smooth.
- Slice the rested steak across the grain and toss gently with some sauce.
- Assemble the bowls with a base of rice or greens, topped with zucchini, steak, and a drizzle of sauce.
- Serve warm with extra sauce on the side and desired toppings.
