Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound steak (sirloin or flank)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 leaves romaine lettuce (large leaves)
- 1 whole avocado (sliced)
- 1 whole red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 whole red onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
- 0.25 cup salsa (Paleo-compliant)
Instructions
Place the steak on a cutting board and pat it dry with a paper towel. Trim any excess fat if necessary.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly on both sides of the steak. Let it marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
Remove the steak from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Once rested, thinly slice the steak against the grain.
Prepare the lettuce leaves by washing them thoroughly and patting them dry. Lay the leaves flat to form your burrito wraps.
To assemble each burrito, place a few slices of steak on the center of each lettuce leaf. Top with avocado slices, red bell pepper strips, red onion, cilantro, and a spoonful of salsa.
Carefully fold in the sides of the lettuce leaf and roll it up to create a burrito shape. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh Paleo steak burritos!
