Worthy of a Special Occasion

This dish has all the bright, fresh flavors and crunchy textures of a summer roll. The tortilla wrappers make it a satisfying main dish.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 wrap)

Ingredients

  • 1  (1-pound) flank steak, trimmed
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  black pepper
  • Cooking spray
  • 1  cup  cubed peeled cucumber
  • 1/2  cup  grape or cherry tomato halves
  • 1/4  cup  thinly sliced shallots
  • 1  tablespoon  chopped fresh mint
  • 1  tablespoon  chopped fresh basil
  • 1  tablespoon  chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2  tablespoons  brown sugar
  • 3  tablespoons  low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2  tablespoons  fresh lime juice
  • 1/2  teaspoon  crushed red pepper
  • 6  (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • 12  Bibb lettuce leaves

Preparation

Prepare grill to medium-high heat.

Sprinkle the steak with salt and black pepper. Place steak on a grill rack coated with cooking spray, and grill 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Let rest 5 minutes.

Cut steak diagonally across grain into thin slices. Combine sliced steak, cucumber, and next 5 ingredients (through cilantro) in a large bowl. Combine sugar, soy sauce, juice, and red pepper. Drizzle over steak mixture; toss well to coat.

I've made this a bunch of times. The only thing I do differently is that I do not mix the steak in with the vegetables and dressing. I've also served this as a salad. It's fantastic!01/11/09

This is a fantastic new way to do flank steak. I prepared it exactly as the recipe read except for leaving out the mint. Very tasty! No need to marinate the steak as all the flavors combine at the last minute before making the wraps. My husband loved it! He has requested it for next week. We loved having salad, meat, bread all together. We enjoyed an inexpensive Spanish red with it.01/08/09
