Ingredients
For the Steak
- 1.5 lbs ribeye or sirloin steak
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary or thyme finely chopped (optional)
For the Garlic Butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), softened
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Salt to taste

For the Bowl
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)

Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
Cook the Steak
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season both sides of the steak generously with salt and pepper.
- Once the oil is hot, add the steak to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your preferred level of doneness.
- Once cooked, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Assemble the Bowls
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
- In each bowl, place a generous scoop of cooked rice as the base.
- Top with your desired amount of mixed vegetables.
- Arrange the sliced steak on top.
- Spoon the garlic butter over the steak, allowing it to melt into the warm dish.
- Garnish with avocado slices and feta cheese, if using.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley for an added pop of color and flavor.
Notes
Choose the right cut of steak based on preference, adjust seasoning as needed, and feel free to customize veggies. Garlic butter can be made ahead of time.
