Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2-3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 8-10 cranks freshly-ground black pepper
  • 1 head Boston Bibb lettuce
  • 3/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 medium bell pepper (any color, finely chopped)
  • 1/2 medium cucumber (finely chopped)
  • small handful chopped green onions (optional garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional garnish)

Instruction

  • Warm a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and garlic. Break up the meat into small crumbles and saute until mostly browned. Drain excess fat if desired.
  • In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger, and red and black pepper. Stir this mixture into the beef, continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
  • Lay out leaves of lettuce, layering 2 on top of each other. To assemble the wraps, spoon beef mixture into each bed of lettuce, then top with carrots, peppers, cucumber, and green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy!
