Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounces white mushrooms sliced for a rich, earthy flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing the vegetables and adding healthy fats.
  • 1 medium red onion sliced into strips to provide a sweet and tangy contrast.
  • 2 cloves garlic minced, for that aromatic depth.
  • 1 medium red bell pepper cut into strips for a sweet crunch.
  • 1 pound beef sirloin tip steak cut into thin strips, recommended to use grass-fed for the best flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper for a hint of spice.
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano adding an herby note.
  • 4 leaves romaine lettuce torn, for a fresh crunch.
  • 1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt a creamy, tangy sauce to top it all off.

Equipment

  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Cutting Board
  • Knife
  • Spatula or tongs
  • Measuring Spoons

Method
 

  1. Start by slicing your white mushrooms, red onion, red bell pepper, and beef sirloin tip steak into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves and set everything aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and red bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Then add the mushrooms and minced garlic, stirring occasionally, until everything is tender and fragrant.
  3. Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the thin strips of beef sirloin tip steak. Season with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Cook the steak for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until it’s browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
  4. Once the steak is cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Take the pita pockets and gently open them up. Place a few torn romaine lettuce leaves inside each pocket, then spoon in the steak and vegetable mixture generously.
  5. Top each sandwich with a dollop of plain nonfat Greek yogurt. This will add a creamy texture and a touch of tanginess that complements the savory filling perfectly.
  6. Serve your Steak Fajita Sandwiches warm, and enjoy the burst of flavors with each bite. They are perfect for a casual meal or even served at a small gathering.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute beef with chicken for a lighter option.
  • For extra crunch, add fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley.
  • Store leftovers in separate containers to maintain freshness.
