Grilled Steak Wraps

Pack up your portable grill and bring it along on your picnic so that you may enjoy these delicious grilled steak wraps. Add a fresh tomato corn salsa and you have a deliciously different steak wrap.

Simply prepare the salsa, throw your steak into the marinade and head off to your picnic destination. Enjoy!

Please note, when grilling at a picnic you will need to remember to bring along a few extra cooking utensils:

  • barbeque tongs or spatula
  • cutting board
  • good steak knife
  • tin foil

Tomato Corn Salsa:

1 tomato, large (chopped)
1/2 cup cooked corn kernels
1/4 cup red onion (chopped finely)
1 garlic clove (minced)
1 jalapeno pepper, fresh or pickled (seeded and minced)
1 Tbsp. fresh parsley or coriander (finely chopped)
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl, cover and refigerate until picnic time.

Marinade:

2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1/4 Tsp. each salt and pepper
2 cloves garlic (fresh, minced)

1 lb. (500 g) top sirloin grilling steak
or flank marinating steak
1 avocado
3-4 cups lettuce (torn) or "spring mix" lettuce
8 large whole wheat tortillas

Whisk together the marinade ingredients. Pour into a resealable container or bag along with the steak. Allow to marinate at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate until you get to your picnic destination.

Place steak on a greased grill over medium-high heat. Close lid and grill approx. 5 minutes. Turn once and grill another 5 minutes until browned but still pink inside. Transfer to cutting board and tent with foil, letting it stand for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.

Wrap beef, avocado slices, lettuce and salsa into tortillas and enjoy.
