Ingredients
- 1 lb steak
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup mixed greens
- 1/2 cup spicy aioli
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 lb of steak, 4 large tortillas, 1 cup of mixed greens, 1/2 cup of spicy aioli, 1/2 red onion (sliced), and 1 bell pepper (sliced).
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
- While the grill or skillet is heating, season the steak with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add any additional spices or marinades that you prefer for extra flavor.
- Once the grill or skillet is hot, place the steak on it. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy; 135°F is medium-rare.
- While the steak is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Slice the red onion and bell pepper if you haven't done so already. You can also sauté the bell pepper and onion in a separate pan for about 3-4 minutes until they are slightly softened, if desired.
- After the steak is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the steak more tender.
- While the steak is resting, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 10-15 seconds until they are pliable.
- Once the steak has rested, slice it thinly against the grain. This will help ensure that the meat is tender and easy to chew.
- To assemble the wraps, lay a tortilla flat and spread about 2 tablespoons of spicy aioli across the center. Add a handful of mixed greens, followed by a portion of the sliced steak, some of the sautéed or raw bell pepper, and a few slices of red onion.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards and then roll it up from the bottom to the top, enclosing the filling. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
- Once all wraps are assembled, you can serve them immediately or place them in a warm oven to keep them heated until ready to serve. Enjoy your steak wraps with spicy aioli!
Tips
- Meat Mastery: Always let your steak rest after cooking to ensure maximum juiciness. This allows the meat's internal juices to redistribute, creating a more tender and flavorful bite.
- Temperature is Key: Use a meat thermometer to achieve your perfect steak doneness. For medium-rare, aim for 135°F.
- Slice Smart: Always slice your steak against the grain to guarantee maximum tenderness. This technique breaks down muscle fibers, making each bite more enjoyable.
- Aioli Enhancement: For an extra flavor kick, try mixing your spicy aioli with a touch of fresh herbs like chopped cilantro or chives.
- Tortilla Technique: Warm tortillas briefly to make them more pliable and prevent cracking when wrapping.
- Prep Ahead: You can slice vegetables and prepare aioli in advance to make assembly quicker and easier.
