Easy Steak and Rice Bowls with Yogurt Sauce (Lazy Tzatziki)

If you’re looking for a gluten free gyro style meal, THIS will satisfy you cravings.

This meal is so simple to throw together. The meat is seasoned perfectly, the rice is flavored just right and the yogurt is the cherry on the top. Once you prep your steak and get it in the fridge, you’re smooth sailing with the rice and the sauce. While the rice cooks, you can make the sauce and meat and be done all at the same time.

You can also add some Sriracha hot sauce to the bowl at the end for some heat.
