Ingredients

• 1 lb Flank steak
• 3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 Yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 Red onion, sliced
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 8 Whole grain tortillas
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cup Feta cheese (optional)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's well-coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for better flavor.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 4

Sear the marinated steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Step 6

Warm the whole grain tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the fajitas by placing a portion of the cooked vegetables and sliced steak onto each tortilla. Garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of feta cheese, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Steak Fajitas!
