Here’s a healthy steak fajita roll-ups recipe that’s both delicious and nutritious:
Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs flank steak or skirt steak
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Steak:
- Lay the steak flat on a cutting board. If the steak is too thick, you can butterfly it or pound it with a meat mallet to an even thickness.
- Season both sides of the steak with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano.
- Prepare the Vegetables:
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Cook until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (or preheat your oven to 375°F if baking).
- Lay the steak out flat and spread the cooked vegetables evenly over the surface.
- Starting from one end, roll the steak up tightly around the vegetables.
- Secure the roll with toothpicks or kitchen twine at 1-inch intervals.
- Cook the Roll-Ups:
- If grilling: Brush the steak roll with the remaining olive oil. Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness.
- If baking: Place the steak roll on a baking sheet and brush with the remaining olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Serve:
- Let the steak roll rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the roll into 1-inch thick pieces.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges if desired.
