Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin steak
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 medium, thinly sliced red onion
- 8 large, for wrapping lettuce leaves
- 1 medium, diced tomato

- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the beef sirloin steak to the marinade, ensuring it's fully coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best results.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the beef from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
While the steak rests, prepare the yiros toppings: thinly slice the red onion, dice the tomato, slice the cucumber, and chop the parsley.
To assemble, take a large lettuce leaf, add a few slices of beef, and top with red onion, tomato, cucumber, parsley, and a drizzle of tahini sauce.
Fold the lettuce leaf over the filling like a wrap and enjoy your Whole30 Beef Yiros warm.
