Method
 

Part 1 – Marinate The Steak (if you have time)
  1. Dump all marinade ingredients into a plastic bag. I place the plastic bag inside a bowl to help keep the bag upright. Next, place the steak inside the bag. Seal the bag and massage the steak with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes
Part 1- Season the Steak (If You Don't Have Time)
  1. Generously season steak on both sides with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Part 2 – Prep the Salad
  1. Slice the cucumber and red onion. I used a mandolin. Next slice cherry tomatoes in half. I don't have a cherry tomato slices but if you do,don't, use it, momma!
  2. Place all salad iingredients in bowl and mix.
  3. Place in refrigerator
Part 3- Cook the Steak
  1. Remove the steak from the refrigerator and allow to rest for 5 minutes
  2. While the steak is resting, prepare the skillet by turning on the stove and drizzling some oil in the pan
  3. Once heated, place the steaks on the skillet and let it sizzle up! Prepare to your likeness- medium, well done, etc.
Part 4 – Take a Dance Break.
  1. No seriously. Put on your favorite jam and do a little 2 step.
Part 5 – Warm the Naan and Plate It Up
  1. Remove steak from grill. While resting, warm naan in microwave (covered by paper towel) for 15 seconds. Next, remove salad from refrigerator
  2. Plate it up and add a dollop of Tzatki sauce.
  3. Call the kids cause it's time to eat
    Enjoy!

Notes

I prepared the steak marinade on my lunch break. It really only takes about 10 minutes. Once you gather the ingredients, it’s really dumping everything together in a ziploc bag and then tossing in the fridge. If you’re unable to marinade ahead of time– that’s ok. Before cooking, generously sprinkle with a salt, pepper and garlic mix. It’s all about using what you got with the time you’ve  got!
