Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Red onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 12 Romaine or butter lettuce leaves
- Optional toppings (e.g., sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the flank steak in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish, ensuring the steak is fully coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your preferred doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt. Then add the bell peppers and red onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Arrange the sliced steak and sautéed vegetables on a serving platter.
Serve the steak and vegetables in lettuce leaves as a low-carb alternative to tortillas. Add optional toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or shredded cheese, if desired.
Enjoy your delicious and healthy Low Carb Steak Fajitas!
