Making this bowl is a breeze! Start by marinating that juicy steak. Pro tip: the longer you marinate, the more flavor you get, so if you can, let it soak a little longer. While that’s happening, get your zucchini on the grill — those grill marks mean flavor and freshness. Finally, grill the steak to perfection. Serve it up over rice or greens, and don’t forget the toppings! Those finishing touches are what elevate it all.
