Ingredients

• 1 pound Ribeye steak
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 medium Onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 8 ounces Mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 8 slices Provolone cheese, sliced
• 4 Large Romaine or iceberg lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Place the ribeye steak in the freezer for about 30 minutes to make it easier to slice thinly.

Step 2

Once the steak is firm but not frozen, slice it as thinly as possible against the grain.

Step 3

Season the sliced steak with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 5

Add the onions, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 6

Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet.

Step 8

Increase the heat to high and add the sliced steak in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the steak is just cooked through.

Step 9

Return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet and toss them together with the steak.

Step 10

Reduce the heat to low, layer the sliced provolone cheese on top of the steak and vegetables, and allow it to melt for about 2 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the heat. Using a spoon, gently fold the cheese into the mixture.

Step 12

Take a lettuce leaf and spoon a portion of the steak and cheese mixture onto the center of the leaf.

Step 13

Fold the bottom edge of the lettuce over the filling, then the sides, and enjoy each low-carb sandwich wrap immediately.
