Cooking Instructions

  • Allow steak to reach room temperature. Pat dry with kitchen paper, then rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  • Toss zucchini slices with 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder.
  • Heat grill or grill pan over high heat until very hot.
  • Grill zucchini slices for 2–3 minutes per side, flipping once, until tender and charred. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Grill steak for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting for thickness. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5–10 minutes.
  • Prepare quinoa, rice, or farro in accordance with package directions using a pot of boiling salted water. Drain and fluff with a fork.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream or Greek yogurt with Dijon mustard, remaining garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, finely chopped herbs, and lemon juice if desired. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  • Slice rested steak thinly across the grain.
  • Spoon grains into serving bowls, arrange grilled zucchini and sliced steak on top, and generously drizzle with creamy sauce.

Notes

Resting the steak after grilling ensures even juice distribution and tenderness.
