Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a grill/grill pan to medium-high.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté bell peppers and onions until slightly softened, about 4–5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and lime juice to make a seasoning rub.
Rub the seasoning evenly onto both sides of the steak slices.
Lay each steak slice flat and place a few strips of the sautéed peppers and onions at one end. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks or twine.
To grill: Place roll-ups seam-side down on a hot grill or grill pan and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until steak is cooked through.
To bake: Arrange roll-ups on a baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes until steak is cooked to your desired doneness.
Let rest for 3–5 minutes. Remove toothpicks before serving.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges if desired.

Notes

Use steak slices about 1/4 inch thick for easy rolling and quick cooking.Pre-cook the vegetables so they are tender inside the roll-ups.Add cheese before rolling for extra richness.Secure roll-ups tightly with toothpicks or twine to prevent unrolling during cooking.Serve with low-carb sides like cauliflower rice or avocado salad.
