Ingredients

  • 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.

The Finishing Touch

For that Instagram-worthy finish, sprinkle chopped parsley or a few red pepper flakes on top. It’s a simple way to elevate the presentation without extra effort.

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.
