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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

While the steak is resting, arrange the whole-grain pita chips on a large serving platter or tray.

Step 5

Top the pita chips with diced cucumber, quartered cherry tomatoes, red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and sliced Kalamata olives.

Step 6

Slice the steak into bite-sized strips and evenly distribute them over the pita chips and toppings.

Step 7

Drizzle tzatziki sauce generously over the nachos. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for garnish.

Step 8

Serve immediately with optional lemon wedges for a tangy burst of flavor.
