Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) steak (ribeye, sirloin, or strip)
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.

Step 2

Place the steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are completely coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours for optimal flavor.

Step 3

Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before grilling to allow them to come to room temperature.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Place the steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time according to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).

Step 7

Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 8

Sprinkle the steaks with freshly chopped parsley if desired before serving. Serve warm alongside your favorite sides.
