This new and improved Mediterranean Bowl is a riff on a former Modern Market Eatery menu item, featuring hand-carved Aussie flank steak, cauliflower rice, a tahini and herb-yogurt sauce and chimichurri, all added to a crisp salad of romaine, Kalamata olives, feta, onions and cucumbers. Redeveloped and launched this spring by Nate Weir, VP of Culinary, in partnership with True Aussie Beef & Lamb, the satisfying low-carb build showcases the attributes of Australian grass-fed beef.

“The bowl is 100-percent clean, perfect for the Modern Market brand with nothing but real ingredients,” says Weir. “The balance of flavors and textures at play makes a great stage for the natural flavor of grass-fed beef: earthiness from tahini, bright herbaceousness and spice from the chimichurri, and a little richness from the yogurt. We’re definitely giving a nod to that Mediterranean flavor profile, but making it our own. There’s great balance in textures and temperatures, too—warm rice and steak, cool yogurt sauce, and the salad is crisp and cool.”
