Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips and place in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground allspice, ground turmeric, cayenne pepper, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the beef strips, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef strips and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked through.
While the beef is cooking, prepare the vegetables: wash and separate the romaine lettuce leaves to form wraps, slice the cucumber, tomato, and red onion.
Once the beef is ready, divide it among the lettuce leaves.
Top each wrap with sliced cucumber, tomato, and red onion.
Roll the lettuce leaves to create wraps, securing them with a toothpick if needed, and serve immediately.
