Assembling the Bowl
- While the steak rests, prepare the base of your bowl by arranging cooked quinoa or couscous.
- Layer cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, shredded cabbage, and crumbled feta on top of the grains.
- Slice the rested steak and arrange it on top of the vegetables. Drizzle lemon juice and tahini dressing over everything.
- Sprinkle fresh parsley for a finishing touch and serve immediately.
