Worthy of a Special Occasion

Precut beef stir-fry strips used for the filling in this wrap add a dose of post-workout iron without the salt of deli roast beef. Combine the mayonnaise mixture and cook the beef the night before; refrigerate each separately and assemble the sandwich in the morning for a satisfying lunch after a midday workout.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 wrap)

Ingredients

  • 1/3  cup  fat-free mayonnaise
  • 2  tablespoons  crumbled blue cheese
  • 1/2  teaspoon  prepared horseradish
  • 1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper, divided
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/2  pound  round tip steak strips
  • 1/8  teaspoon  salt
  • 4  cups  finely chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1  cup  halved grape tomatoes
  • 1/4  cup  thinly sliced red onion
  • 4  (10-inch) reduced-fat flour tortillas

Preparation

Combine mayonnaise, blue cheese, horseradish, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl; cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle steak with salt and remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Add steak to pan; sauté 4 minutes or until desired degree of doneness. Let stand 5 minutes; cut into 1-inch pieces.

Combine the lettuce, tomatoes, and onion in a bowl. Spread about 2 tablespoons mayonnaise mixture evenly over each tortilla. Divide steak and lettuce mixture evenly among tortillas; roll up.
