Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces romaine lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup guacamole
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the flank steak into the marinade, ensuring it is evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour for stronger flavor.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness.
Remove the steak from the grill/skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
Lay out 2 romaine lettuce leaves per burrito to serve as the wrap.
Top each set of lettuce leaves with sliced steak, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of guacamole, salsa, and sour cream.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro for added flavor.
Carefully roll or fold the lettuce leaves around the fillings to form a burrito shape.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb steak burrito!
