Instructions

The tomatoes are cut into halves and the cucumber is sliced into uneven rounds while the onion is thinly sliced into loose strands and everything looks fresh and .
The steak pieces are rubbed with oil and garlic and lemon juice so the surface becomes glossy and slightly coated with seasoning.
The steak develops a deeper color and slightly browned edges while the surface looks firmer and juices appear around the edges.
The steak is cut into uneven strips revealing a juicy interior and slightly browned exterior edges.
The rice is spread loosely and the vegetables are scattered over and the sliced steak is placed on top with feta crumbled unevenly and parsley sprinkled casually.

Notes

Pro Tips:

Let the steak rest before slicing so juices stay inside and texture stays tender.
Use fresh lemon juice for a brighter flavor and better balance.
Mix vegetables lightly instead of fully combining to keep textures distinct.
Add feta at the end so it stays crumbly and not melted.

Storage: Store each component separately in airtight containers and keep in the refrigerator for up to three days and reassemble before serving to maintain texture and freshness.
