What type of steak is best for this recipe?

For this recipe, a tender cut of steak such as sirloin or flank is ideal. These cuts grill well and stay juicy when cooked, making your grilled steak bowl even more delightful. Remember to let the steak rest before slicing to preserve its juices.

Can I make this dish in advance?

Absolutely! You can grill your steak and zucchini ahead of time. Keep them stored in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheat gently. The assembled bowls, however, are best enjoyed fresh.

What if I don't have a grill?

You can easily adapt this recipe for the oven. Simply roast the steak and zucchini on a baking sheet at around 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway through for an even cook.

How can I customize the sauce?

Feel free to tweak the sauce by adding more or different herbs. A dash of balsamic vinegar or soy sauce can elevate the dish to new heights, providing a delightful tang.

What sides go well with the grilled steak bowl?

This dish pairs beautifully with a light salad, quinoa, or even fresh bread to soak up the delicious flavors. Consider also roasted vegetables or a simple vegetable stir-fry.
