Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 leaves butter lettuce leaves
- 1 whole avocado, sliced
- 1 whole tomato, sliced
- 0.5 whole red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
In a large bowl, prepare the marinade by combining the minced garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, smoked paprika, chopped parsley, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the flank steak in the bowl and coat it thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated steak.
Cook the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the steak rests, prepare your lettuce wraps by laying out the butter lettuce leaves.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain and distribute the slices evenly among the lettuce leaves.
Top each lettuce wrap with slices of avocado, tomato, and red onion.
Serve immediately as a delicious Whole30 compliant meal.
