kcalIngredients
1 lb thinly sliced ribeye steak (or substitute with chicken or turkey for variety)
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 bell peppers, thinly sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
8 slices provolone cheese
8 large lettuce leaves (romaine or butter lettuce work best)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional: garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, or hot sauce for extra flavor
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients
Slice your ribeye steak, onion, and bell peppers thinly. This ensures everything cooks quickly and evenly.
Wash and pat dry your lettuce leaves to make sturdy wraps. - Cook the Veggies
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add onions and bell peppers. Sauté until soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove veggies from the pan and set aside. - Cook the Steak
In the same skillet, add the sliced ribeye. Season with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder or Worcestershire sauce.
Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned and cooked through. - Assemble the Wraps
Layer a slice of provolone cheese on a lettuce leaf.
Add a generous scoop of the cooked steak, onions, and peppers.
Fold the lettuce leaf around the filling like a taco. - Serve and Enjoy
Plate your wraps and serve immediately. Add hot sauce if you like a kick, or pair with a side salad for a complete meal.

Tips for Success
Thin Slices are Key: Keep your steak slices thin for quicker cooking and easier eating.
Use Butter Lettuce for a Softer Wrap: If you’re struggling with romaine, butter lettuce is softer and more pliable.
Don’t Overload the Wraps: Less is more here! Overstuffing can make them tricky to eat.
