Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, and chopped fresh herbs for the marinade. Place steak in a resealable bag, pour in the marinade, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa with water, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat grill or skillet. Grill steak for about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
  4. While the steak is resting, wash and chop fresh vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Layer a portion of quinoa in bowls, top with sliced steak, chopped vegetables, and crumble feta cheese on top.
  6. Drizzle with dressing made from olive oil, lemon juice, and extra herbs.
