Be careful with this one, there's not much calorie control but it's bloody good
Thanks to a friend, I heard the weigh less wraps are quite low in calories, it's a better choice becuase wraps tend to be quite high in calorie content

Remove all the excess fat from the steak and slice it up into thin strips
Swoosh it around in your marinade and leave it one side
You can use whichever marinade you like, I like a mixture of honey and soy

Heat some oil in a large pan (I use coconut oil as usual)
Fry your sliced onion and sliced peppers
When the peppers start going soft, add your mushrooms (cut them nice and chunky)
season with salt and pepper and fry gently until the mushrooms are soft
Don't use too much oil, rather stay at the pan and keep stir frying so it doesn't stick and burn

The reason I do the peppers and mushrooms in sections, if you put the onions, peppers and mushrooms in at the same time you end up over filling the pan resulting in too much moisture from the peppers and mushrooms, you'll end up simmering them instead of frying them.

When that is done, remove from the pan and put it one side. (I use a warmed stainless steel bowl so the mixture doesn't lose too much heat)

At this point you should wash the pan for the beef - but I'm too lazy. The reason I do the beef seperately, same as above, you don't want to overfill your pan and also, keeping the flavours seperate makes a tastier wrap.

Melt a blob of butter in the pan and fry your steak in 2 batches. There has to be enough space between the strips (same reason - moisture released from the steak)

When one batch is done, dump it on top of the set aside peppers etc to do the next batch of strips.

When the last batch of strips is done, put everything back in the pan and give it a quick wirl to mix it up and reheat what went a little cold.

Put the wrap in the microwave for a few seconds to heat through, they do go cold rather quickly, but they shape better and don't crack when warm.

Stuff and wrap and voila!

I stuff mine quite a bit, I prefer to have more filling than wrap becuase of the wrap calories, and then secure with a toothpick. For thinner wraps, roll it up like a roti and cut it in half.

Once your tummy is satisfied, eat that chocolate cupcake that's been waiting to be devoured all day

Variations

(if  you're not worried about calories)
smear a mixture of mayo and chutney over the wrap before filling it and top with cheese

I like to add sliced cucumbers and tomatoes before wrapping up

A winter variation I call Samchillada's

Add chillies when frying your peppers etc for a bit of heat
Add julienne carrots when doing your peppers, if you don't want crunchy carrots, steam them a bit seperately
Roti roll your filling in the wraps
place in a square or rectangle baking dish
top with a bottle or two of ina paarman's chunky veg pasta sauce
grate cheese over that and bake until the cheese has melted and browned
