Cook the Steak: Season steak with salt and pepper. Grill or sear over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side (for medium-rare). Let rest before slicing thinly.

Make the Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, cumin, and a little salt and pepper.
-
Assemble Bowls: In serving bowls, layer veggie mixture, steak slices, and spoonfuls of yogurt sauce.

Garnish: Top with chopped nuts and extra herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Add couscous, quinoa, or greens as a base for a heartier bowl.
Swap steak for chicken, shrimp, tofu, or chickpeas to suit your diet.
Crumble feta on top for a tangy finish.
