Ingredients

• 1 pound Beef flank steak
• 2 teaspoons Curry powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 medium, sliced Red onion
• 2 medium, sliced Bell peppers (any colors)
• 1 small, sliced into thin strips Zucchini
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 8 large Lettuce leaves (such as romaine or butter lettuce)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 medium, sliced into wedges Lime
• 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef flank steak into thin strips, cutting against the grain for tenderness.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the curry powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Rub the spice mixture evenly onto the beef strips, ensuring all pieces are well coated.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Remove cooked beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the sliced red onion, bell peppers, and zucchini. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are cooked but still slightly crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until well combined and heated through.

Step 7

Serve the curried beef fajitas on large lettuce leaves, spooning the beef and vegetable mixture into each leaf to create a wrap.

Step 8

Top with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 9

Enjoy your low-carb curried beef fajitas!
