Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 leaves butter lettuce leaves
• 1 whole avocado, sliced
• 1 whole tomato, sliced
• 0.5 whole red onion, thinly sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, prepare the marinade by combining the minced garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, smoked paprika, chopped parsley, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in the bowl and coat it thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated steak.

Step 4

Cook the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 5

While the steak rests, prepare your lettuce wraps by laying out the butter lettuce leaves.

Step 6

Slice the steak thinly against the grain and distribute the slices evenly among the lettuce leaves.

Step 7

Top each lettuce wrap with slices of avocado, tomato, and red onion.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a delicious Whole30 compliant meal.
