Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Lean steak (flank or sirloin)
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 6 oz Whole-grain pita chips
- 0.5 English cucumber, diced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 0.5 cup Crumbled feta cheese
- 0.25 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce
- 1 Lemon, cut into wedges (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Rub the steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare or 140°F for medium. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
While the steak is resting, arrange the whole-grain pita chips on a large serving platter or tray.
Top the pita chips with diced cucumber, quartered cherry tomatoes, red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and sliced Kalamata olives.
Slice the steak into bite-sized strips and evenly distribute them over the pita chips and toppings.
Drizzle tzatziki sauce generously over the nachos. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for garnish.
Serve immediately with optional lemon wedges for a tangy burst of flavor.
