Ingredients

  • ½ lb beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced lengthwise from root to tip
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced into strips
  • 1 large tomato, sliced into thin wedges
  • 2 wraps flatbread (Turkish wrap or flour tortilla)
  • 1.5 teaspoon sumac, paprika, and black pepper mixed together

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat and let it warm for 1 minute until a drop of water sizzles and evaporates immediately.

  2. 2

    Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the hot skillet, tilting to coat the bottom evenly, about 30 seconds.

  3. 3

    Add the sliced beef in a single layer and let it cook without stirring for 90 seconds until the bottom turns brown.

  4. 4

    Stir the beef with a wooden spoon, breaking it into bite-sized pieces, and cook for another 90 seconds until no pink remains inside.

  5. 5

    Push the cooked beef to one side of the skillet; drizzle another 1 tablespoon olive oil into the empty space.

  6. 6

    Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the oiled side and stir them together, then slide the beef back in to combine everything.

  7. 7

    Cook, stirring every 20 seconds, until the peppers and onions turn soft and golden-edged, about 3 to 4 minutes.

  8. 8

    Sprinkle the sumac, paprika, and black pepper mixture over the beef and vegetables, then stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  9. 9

    Add the tomato wedges and stir gently just to warm them through, about 30 seconds—do not overcook.

  10. 10

    Warm each flatbread in the skillet (no oil needed) for 15 seconds per side until it is pliable and warm to the touch.

  11. 11

    Lay the first warm flatbread on a clean cutting board and pile half of the beef mixture in a line down the center.

  12. 12

    Fold the two long edges of the flatbread toward the center, overlapping them slightly over the filling to create a closed wrap.

  13. 13

    Slide the wrap seam-side down onto a plate, and repeat steps 11–12 with the second flatbread and remaining filling.
