Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef flank steak
- 2 teaspoons Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 medium, sliced Red onion
- 2 medium, sliced Bell peppers (any colors)
- 1 small, sliced into thin strips Zucchini
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 large Lettuce leaves (such as romaine or butter lettuce)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 medium, sliced into wedges Lime
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Slice the beef flank steak into thin strips, cutting against the grain for tenderness.
In a small bowl, mix the curry powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly onto the beef strips, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Remove cooked beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the sliced red onion, bell peppers, and zucchini. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are cooked but still slightly crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until well combined and heated through.
Serve the curried beef fajitas on large lettuce leaves, spooning the beef and vegetable mixture into each leaf to create a wrap.
Top with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
Enjoy your low-carb curried beef fajitas!
