Saucy beef strips, briny feta, and a refreshing peach salad come together for a delicious summer meal in 30 minutes.
In my previous post, I spoke about getting lost in the craft of cooking again, and while I was sitting out soaking in the hot sun, I had yet another creative spark...
Let me set the scene- hot summer nights (one may even say sultry), a cool Aperol spritzer, and one of these glorious wraps oozing with saucy steak strips and juicy peaches. Summer nights have me feeling a little...bougie.
The idea came to me when I had a basket of ripe peaches but it was too hot to turn the oven on quite frankly. So, I figured, why not a fresh summer fruit salad tossed with garden tomatoes and basil, spicy jalapenos, a drizzle of honey, and splash of balsamic? It's a palatable symphony that is as delicious on its own as it is served alongside grilled meat, fish, burgers, etc...
Today however, I'm serving it up in a soft flatbread with a beef roast sliced thin.
The result was a cool, refreshing meal that came together in 30 minutes.
Of course, in the recipe box below, I've included how I prepared the beef roast which I had prepared ahead of time. So, these wraps are a perfect way to utilize leftovers. If you have leftover chicken or fish even, both would work perfectly here as well.

This was so delicious and such an easy dinner. The saucy beef with the salty feta and fresh peach salad was such a good combo!
Ben says
This was really good. I've never had peaches or steak done quite like this before. It's a tasty combo.
Terri says
I love the sweet and savory blend with the tang of the feta along with the beef. Tasty.
Franca says
I love the idea of the peach salad topping on the roast beef. It just adds a savory-sweet touch to the wrap. I'm making these wraps for our gathering this Saturday. We're always trying to come up with something new, and this is it. It certainly deserves a 5-star. I made a "preview" wrap for myself today, and it was so yummy. I'm glad I didn't have more...
Beth says
I love all these light, fresh flavors. I have two peach trees in my yard, and I can't wait to make this with fresh peaches!
Lily says
