Lettuce Wraps with Grilled Steak and Cheese

Serves 4

Prep time: 10-15 minutes

Cooking time: 10 minutes

Cooking spray

1 1/4 pound flank or skirt steak

12 Butter or Boston lettuce leaves

1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion

1 cup shredded smoked Gouda or mozzarella cheese

1 cup diced tomatoes (beefsteak or Roma/plum)

Coat a stovetop grill pan or griddle with cooking spray and preheat to medium-high. 

Season both sides of the steak with salt and freshly ground black pepper.  Place the steak on the hot pan and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium.  Remove the steak from the pan and let stand 5 to 10 minutes before slicing crosswise (against the grain) into 1/4-inch thick slices.

Arrange the lettuce leaves on a serving platter and stuff with the steak slices, onion, cheese and tomatoes.
