Instructions

Begin by seasoning the steak with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes for enhanced flavor.
Grill the steak on medium-high heat until it reaches your desired doneness, typically about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Meanwhile, cook the couscous according to package instructions, which usually entails boiling water and letting it sit covered until fluffy.
Chop the bell peppers, cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, combine the chopped veggies with lemon juice, salt, and pepper, mixing well to enhance their flavor.
Once the steak is done, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it against the grain.
To assemble the bowls, start with a base of couscous, layer the chopped vegetables, then top with steak slices. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and serve.

Notes

Let steak rest before slicing for juiciness. For a vegetarian option, consider swapping out the steak for grilled chickpeas or mushrooms.
