Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Cook the basmati rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
3. While the rice cooks, prepare the vegetables: dice the onion, zucchini, and tomato into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the scallions.
4. On a baking sheet, toss the diced onion, zucchini, and tomato with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
5. Meanwhile, season the steak with the shawarma spice blend, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
6. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain.
7. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, sour cream, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Stir in a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
8. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat.
9. To assemble the bowls, divide the rice among serving bowls. Top with roasted vegetables and sliced steak. Drizzle with the lemon yogurt sauce and sprinkle with toasted almonds and scallions. Serve immediately.
