Been craving a Philly cheese steak sandwich but food restrictions standing in your way? These Philly steak lettuce cups are an AIP compliant twist on the traditional favorite.
The secret behind getting the meat sliced to the perfect thin strip is to cut the steak while frozen. If you don’t have overnight, give it at least 45 minutes in the freezer to harden before slicing.

Messy lettuce cups but DELICIOUS steak. Drizzled with coconut aminos.

It was fast and easy, which is always nice, but it was also super bland. After trying it as is, we added garlic powder, smoked paprika and onion powder.
