🍽 Ingredients

• 6 ounces Steak
• 2 ounces Blue cheese
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• to taste Salt
• to taste Black pepper
• 4-6 leaves Butter lettuce
• optional, pinch Garlic powder

📖 Instructions

1. First things first, let’s prep that steak! Pat a 6-ounce steak dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper. If you’re feeling fancy (and I often am!), add a pinch of garlic powder. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This is KEY for even cooking.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil—I prefer extra virgin, but use what you have. Once it's shimmering, carefully place the steak in the skillet.
3. Sear that steak! Cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches your preference (130°F for medium-rare).
4. Once cooked, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. Seriously, don’t skip this step!
5. While the steak rests, prep your blue cheese. In a small bowl, crumble about 2 ounces of blue cheese. You can also add a tiny drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper to the cheese. I like a bit of extra zing, you know?
6. Now for the lettuce! Carefully wash and dry several large butter lettuce leaves. Make sure they're nice and dry to prevent soggy wraps, a culinary tragedy of epic proportions.
7. Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain. This makes it easier to eat and makes the steak even more tender.
8. Assemble your wraps! Spoon a little of the blue cheese mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf. Top with the sliced steak. Add any other desired toppings, and I’m not above adding a few sprigs of fresh herbs!
9. Carefully fold the lettuce leaves to create wraps. Serve immediately and enjoy this flavor explosion. You deserve it, after all that hard work (or lack thereof, if you used leftover steak!).

📝 Notes

• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the blue cheese mixture.
• If you have leftover cooked steak, you can skip the searing step and simply slice the steak for the wraps.
• Feel free to add other toppings like caramelized onions or roasted red peppers for extra flavor and visual appeal.
