Steak Wrap Ingredients

  • Sirloin Steak: Purchase thinly sliced sirloin steak. You can also use flank steak or any steak of your choice.
  • Seasonings: We used garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt.
  • Veggies: We added sliced red onions, tomatoes, and baby spinach.
  • Flatbread Wraps: If you can’t find flatbread wraps, you can substitute with regular tortilla wraps or a pita.

Air Fryer Eggplant Fries

  • Eggplant: Instead of regular potato fries, we wanted to use another kind of vegetable with our wrap, so we used eggplant. You can also slice up portobello mushrooms, yellow squash, or zucchini.
  • Eggs: This ingredient will help bind the breadcrumbs to the eggplant.
  • Breadcrumbs: You can use any kind such as panko breadcrumbs.
  • Seasonings: We used the same seasonings from the steak seasonings.

How to Make a Steak Wrap with Eggplant Fries

For this recipe, you are making the main dish, the side dish, and the sauce. We started with the Eggplant Fries first. Meanwhile, we marinated steak and cooked it on the indoor grill. While everything is cooking, we mixed up our yogurt sauce. Here are the three main components of this recipe:

Air Fryer Eggplant Fries

  1. Prepare the breadcrumb mixture: Whisk together the eggs with a little bit of water in one shallow bowl. In another bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and seasonings
  2. Cut the eggplant: Slice the eggplant lengthwise into “french fry strips”
  3. Apply the breadcrumbs: Dip the eggplant in the egg mixture, then dredge it in the breadcrumbs
  4. Place in the Air Fryer: Arrange the fries in a single layer and spray with cooking spray. Cook until it is golden brown

Steak Wrap

  1. Heat an indoor grill on medium-high heat.
  2. Meanwhile, season the steak and coat it with olive oil.
  3. Sear the steak on the indoor grill on each side for a few minutes until you reach your desired doneness.
  4. Let the steak rest before slicing it into strips.
  5. Assemble your steak wrap with the toppings.

Yogurt Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, lemon juice, and seasonings.
  2. You can also substitute the yogurt with sour cream or mayonnaise.
  3. Feel free to also add finely diced cucumbers, chopped fresh dill, or chopped chives to add more texture and flavors.

Meal Prep Tips for A Steak Wrap and Eggplant Fries

  • Steak: Use thinly cut steak for this recipe so that it cooks quickly. You can also purchase seak and cut it into thin strips
  • Prepping thick steaks: If you have a meat mallet, you can pound thick steaks into 1/2 inch thickness
  • Wrap: If you don’t want to use a flatbread wrap, you can also use a lettuce wrap or serve the steak on top of salad mix for a lower carb option
  • Cook method variations: If you don’t have an Air Fryer, bake the eggplant fries in the oven at 425F and cook it for about 15 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through.
  • Reheating Eggplant Fries: It is best to reheat them in the Air Fryer at 350F for 2 to 3 minutes. Otherwise, they may become soggy if reheated in the microwave.
