Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef sirloin
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 100 grams Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 100 grams Lettuce, shredded
- 1 medium Tomato, diced
- 0.5 medium Cucumber, sliced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Start by preparing the marinade for the beef. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, cumin powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a smooth marinade.
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Add the beef slices into the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
While the beef is marinating, prepare the salad by combining shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sliced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion in a large salad bowl.
Set the salad aside and prepare the dressing by mixing chopped mint leaves with apple cider vinegar. Drizzle this over the salad and toss to combine.
Once the beef has marinated, heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef slices in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are brown and cooked through.
Serve the cooked beef over the prepared salad. For an authentic presentation, you can use large lettuce leaves as wraps, essentially creating a low-carb wrap.
