Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound Flank, Ribeye, or New York Strip Choose your favorite cut for tenderness; sirloin is a budget-friendly substitute.
  • 2 medium Zucchini Consider using bell peppers or asparagus for variation.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Essential for grilling.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Provides savory depth.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Offers extra flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard Adds a delightful tang; optional.
  • 1 cup Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt Base for creaminess; replace with plant-based yogurt for dairy-free.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Chives or Parsley) Mix up herbs for variation.
  • 2 cups Cooked Rice or Mashed Potatoes Jasmine rice is perfect; cauliflower mash is a low-carb option.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook your rice or prepare mashed potatoes so they’re hot and ready when the steak comes off the grill.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream (or Greek yogurt), fresh herbs, and Dijon mustard if using. Mix until it looks smooth and evenly speckled with herbs. Set aside while you grill.
  3. Slice zucchini into long planks or thick coins, then toss with olive oil, garlic powder, and onion powder until lightly coated.
  4. Pat the steak dry and rub or sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and a bit of olive oil to help the seasoning cling.
Grilling
  1. Grill the zucchini until charred and tender, removing it once nicely marked and flexible.
  2. Grill the steak until well-browned on the outside and cooked to your liking. If flare-ups occur, move to a cooler spot on the grill.
  3. Let the steak rest briefly, then slice thinly.
Assembly
  1. Spoon rice or mashed potatoes into bowls, add grilled zucchini and sliced steak, and finish with a generous spoonful of herb sauce over the top.

Notes

Store components separately to keep the zucchini from getting watery. Reheat gently before serving. This meal can be assembled quickly for meal prep.
