- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salad Base
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 1 cucumber, diced

- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, chopped
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Optional Topping

Instructions
- Preheat the grill or stovetop pan: Heat your grill or a stovetop pan over medium-high heat to ensure it’s hot enough for cooking the steak properly.
- Season the steak: Rub the steak evenly with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to enhance the flavor.

- Assemble the dish: Slice the rested steak thinly and arrange it over the quinoa salad. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce if desired for a creamy finish.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture, enjoying the fresh, vibrant combination of ingredients.
