Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin steak
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 medium, thinly sliced red onion
• 8 large, for wrapping lettuce leaves
• 1 medium, diced tomato
• 0.5 medium, sliced cucumber
• 0.25 cup, chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 cup Tahini sauce (Whole30 compliant)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 2

Add the beef sirloin steak to the marinade, ensuring it's fully coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best results.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the beef from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

Step 5

Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

Step 6

While the steak rests, prepare the yiros toppings: thinly slice the red onion, dice the tomato, slice the cucumber, and chop the parsley.

Step 7

To assemble, take a large lettuce leaf, add a few slices of beef, and top with red onion, tomato, cucumber, parsley, and a drizzle of tahini sauce.

Step 8

Fold the lettuce leaf over the filling like a wrap and enjoy your Whole30 Beef Yiros warm.
