Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pat the steak dry with paper towels, rub with olive oil, and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Let sit for about 20 minutes.
  2. Preheat your grill to high heat (450°F - 500°F) and ensure grates are clean and oiled.
  3. Slice the zucchini into thick rounds, brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Grill for 2–3 minutes per side until tender.
  4. Grill the seasoned steak for about 4–5 minutes per side until medium-rare (internal temperature of 130°F). Let rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Prepare the cooked grains according to package instructions (approximately 15–20 minutes).
  6. In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream or Greek yogurt with Dijon mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a splash of water. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  7. Assemble the bowl starting with grains, topped with grilled zucchini and sliced steak. Drizzle with creamy sauce and garnish with parsley or chives.
