Ingredients
  

  • Steak: Thinly sliced flank steak or sirloin (about 1.5 pounds)
  • Bell peppers: One red, one yellow, one green, sliced into thin strips
  • Onion: One small red or yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • Garlic: 4–5 cloves, minced
  • Butter: 6 tablespoons, preferably unsalted
  • Olive oil or avocado oil: For searing
  • Fresh parsley: Chopped, for garnish
  • Toothpicks or kitchen twine: To secure roll-ups
  • Seasonings: Sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder
  • Optional: Crushed red pepper flakes, lemon zest, or a splash of lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Prep the steak. Lay the thin slices on a board and gently pound with a meat mallet to even thickness (about 1/4 inch). Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  • Slice the veggies. Cut the peppers and onion into thin, even strips so they cook quickly and roll up easily.
  • Sauté the veggies. Heat a large skillet over medium-high with a bit of oil. Cook peppers and onion with a pinch of salt until slightly softened and lightly charred at the edges, about 4–5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Assemble the roll-ups. Place a small bundle of peppers and onion near one end of each steak slice. Roll tightly and secure with a toothpick or short piece of twine.
  • Sear the roll-ups. Add more oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high. Place the roll-ups seam side down and sear on all sides until browned, about 6–8 minutes total. Reduce heat if needed to prevent burning.
  • Finish to tenderness. If your steak is thicker or you prefer more doneness, reduce heat to medium-low and cover for 2–3 minutes. Don’t overcook; you want the steak tender.
  • Make the garlic butter sauce. In a small saucepan (or the cleared skillet), melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook gently 30–60 seconds until fragrant. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir in a touch of lemon zest or juice if you like brightness.
  • Serve and garnish. Remove toothpicks, plate the roll-ups, and spoon the warm garlic butter over the top. Finish with chopped parsley.
