Middle Eastern Steak Pita Wraps

Wow. Hello Fresh... outstanding. 

I love pitas in general, this on is shawarma esk and man o man...yummy. I do love a good shawarma. 

I'm sure I've told the story of our first shawarma in Saudi and how it had cold French fries in it. Anyhow, you'd think that'd turn me off shawarmas, but it did not. 

The pita and the salad on the side was a LOT of food, so if you make it know you'd better be hungry. 

Middle Eastern Steak Pita Wraps

Recipe from Hello Fresh

Serves 2

• 1 red onion, sliced
• 1 baby lettuce (romaine)
• 1 lemon
• 10 oz Ranch Steak (skirt steak)
• 1 T Shawarma spice blend (I have no idea what's actually in this)
• 4 oz cherry tomatoes, quartered
• 1/2 c feta cheese, crumbled
• 1.5 oz Greek Vinaigrette
• 2 pitas
• 1 oz Smokey Garlic Herb Sauce (also no idea where you'd get this)

Halve, peel, and thinly slice half the onion (whole onion for 4 servings). Halve lemon. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; chop leaves into bite-size pieces. (this assumes you washed it already)

Pat steak dry with paper towels, then thinly slice. Season with Shawarma Spice Blend, salt, and pepper. 

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak; cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked to desired doneness, 4-6 minutes.

While steak cooks, in a small microwave-safe bowl, combine onion, juice from half the lemon, and a pinch of salt. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until onion is tender, 30-40 seconds. Set aside to pickle. [JW notes: I honestly thought this wouldn't work. Worked like a charm]

Add lettuce, tomatoes, feta, and vinaigrette to a large bowl; toss to combine.

Wrap pitas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 20-30 seconds. [JW Note: If you have a tortilla warmer that would work too. 

Place steak in a line across the middle of each pita. Top with as much salad as you like. Drizzle with smoky garlic herb sauce; top with as much pickled onion (draining first) as you like and as much hot sauce as you like. 

Fold pitas in half to form wraps. Divide wraps between plates and serve with any remaining salad on the side.
