1-First Step: Prepare the Dressing Begin by combining all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl to let the flavors meld. Mix 1 cup plain yogurt, 1 tablespoon olive or avocado oil, juice of half a lemon, 1 large clove garlic finely minced, half a teaspoon dried oregano, half a teaspoon dried dill, half a teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons chopped fresh mint or half a teaspoon dried mint. Whisk everything until smooth, then refrigerate for up to 5 days, which is ideal for meal prep or busy schedules.

Pat 1 pound of flank steak dry and season it with salt and pepper for better flavor absorption. Meanwhile, thread 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes and half a medium red onion cut into 1-inch pieces onto skewers, then brush them with 2 teaspoons of oil and season with salt and pepper adapt this by adding herbs if you prefer a stronger taste.
