Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Steak

  1. Trim and slice the steak into thin, wide strips (approximately 3 inches wide and 6 inches long). This size will allow for easy rolling.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the marinade ingredients: olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
  3. Place the steak strips into the marinade, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the bell peppers, onion, and garlic, seasoning with chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
  3. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still retain their vibrant colors.
  4. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the vegetables to cool slightly.

Step 3: Assemble the Roll-Ups

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Lay a strip of marinated steak flat on a clean surface.
  3. Place a small portion of the sautéed vegetables onto one end of the steak strip.
  4. Roll the steak tightly around the vegetables and secure with a toothpick.
  5. Repeat this process with all the steak strips and vegetables.

Step 4: Cook the Roll-Ups

  1. Arrange the roll-ups on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the steak reaches your desired doneness (medium-rare is recommended for maximum tenderness).
  3. Alternatively, you can grill the roll-ups over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, using tongs to turn them gently.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

  1. Remove the toothpicks from the roll-ups before serving.
  2. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and added freshness.
  3. Serve hot with your favorite accompaniments, such as:
    • Guacamole
    • Salsa
    • Greek yogurt or sour cream
    • A squeeze of fresh lime juice
