Ingredients

1 sirloin steak (approx 170g)
1 tbsp olive oil
Pinch paprika
Pinch cumin
2 to 3 sprigs thyme
1 large red or yellow pepper, deseeded and quartered
1 large red onion, cut crosswise into 4 slices each approx 1 cm thick
1 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp salsa
2 tbsp sour cream
4 wraps

 

Method

Rub the steak with the olive oil, paprika and cumin. Put in a bag with the thyme and garlic and marinate overnight. 

Preheat the BBQ to high. Brush the peppers and onions with oil and BBQ for 8 to 10 minutes, turning halfway through until soft and slightly charred.

BBQ the peppers on the skin side for 8 to 9 minutes until soft and charred, then turn and cook on the skin side for 1 minute.

Set the vegetables aside and season the steak with salt and pepper. Barbecue the steak over a high heat for one to two minutes each side (rare) 3 to 4 minutes each side (medium) 5 to 6 minutes each side (well done). Rest the steak for 5 minutes.

Slice the steak and vegetables into thin strips. Warm the wraps for 30 seconds to 1 minute on the barbecue. Fill with the strips of steak, vegetables and top each one with a little  salsa  and  sour cream before rolling up.
