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
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
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the hot skillet, tilting to coat the bottom evenly, about 30 seconds.
- 3
Add the sliced beef in a single layer and let it cook without stirring for 90 seconds until the bottom turns brown.
- 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
Push the cooked beef to one side of the skillet; drizzle another 1 tablespoon olive oil into the empty space.
- 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
Cook, stirring every 20 seconds, until the peppers and onions turn soft and golden-edged, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- 8
Sprinkle the sumac, paprika, and black pepper mixture over the beef and vegetables, then stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- 9
Add the tomato wedges and stir gently just to warm them through, about 30 seconds—do not overcook.
- 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
Lay the first warm flatbread on a clean cutting board and pile half of the beef mixture in a line down the center.
- 12
Fold the two long edges of the flatbread toward the center, overlapping them slightly over the filling to create a closed wrap.
- 13
Slide the wrap seam-side down onto a plate, and repeat steps 11–12 with the second flatbread and remaining filling.
