Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time25 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • marinated flank steak one recipe (amount based on original marinade)
  • large lettuce leaves washed and dried
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 onion sliced
  • 1/2 red pepper deseeded and sliced
  • 1 pint mushrooms sliced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp Sriracha sauce or to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the marinated flank steak according to its recipe or package directions, then wrap tightly in foil and let rest for 5–10 minutes.
  • While the steak rests, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the sliced onion, sliced red pepper, and sliced mushrooms to the hot skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender and slightly browned, about 5–7 minutes; remove from heat.
  • Mix 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt) with 1 teaspoon Sriracha in a small bowl; adjust Sriracha to taste and set the sauce aside.
  • Slice the rested flank steak thinly against the grain.
  • Assemble each lettuce wrap by layering slices of steak and some sautéed vegetables on a large lettuce leaf, and drizzle or dollop with the Sriracha cream; fold and serve immediately.

Notes
