Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs Halal Certified Flank Steak or Sirloin (thinly sliced)
3 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
0.25 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
4 cloves Minced Garlic
1 tsp Cumi
1 tsp Coriander
1 tsp Turmeric
1 tsp Cinnamo
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper
3 cups Cooked Basmati Rice or Quinoa
1 cup Sliced Cucumbers
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
0.5 cup Red Onio
1 cup Halal Greek Yogurt Sauce (mixed with lemon juice and dried dill)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and all the dry spices (cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and pepper)
  2. Add the thinly sliced halal beef to the bowl and toss until every piece is thoroughly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes
  3. While the beef marinates, cook your basmati rice or quinoa according to package instructions
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer (do not crowd the pan) and sear quickly until it develops a brown crust
  5. While the meat rests for a few minutes, slice your fresh cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and red onions
  6. In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and dried dill to create the sauce
  7. To assemble, scoop a generous portion of rice into each bowl, top with the seared beef and fresh vegetables, and drizzle with the yogurt sauce

Notes

Slice the beef while it is slightly frozen to achieve thinner, more even strips.

Do not crowd the pan when searing; cook in batches if necessary to ensure the meat browns rather than steams.

For maximum tenderness and flavor, marinate the beef for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.

Always use fresh lemon juice instead of vinegar to ensure the recipe remains strictly halal-friendly.

Components can be stored separately in airtight containers for up to four days for meal prep.
