Low Carb Steak Fajita Roll Ups Recipe
Description
The technique involves marinating flank steak pieces in a spiced olive oil and lime mixture, enhancing the beef with a blend of garlic, cumin, oregano, chili powder, cayenne, and garlic powder. After at least an hour of marinating, the steak is cut into portions and topped with sautéed green and red bell peppers and sliced onions.
The steak is then rolled around the vegetables and secured with toothpicks. Butter is added on the baking dish to contribute richness and help with browning. Baking at 400°F for a short time cooks the steak to the preferred doneness while keeping the vegetables crisp-tender and flavorful.
This recipe yields a savory, mildly spicy main dish suitable for low-carb diets, presenting an easy way to enjoy fajita flavors without tortillas. It pairs well with salads or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
