Asian-Style Ground Beef Lettuce Wraps

A delicious and simple way to enjoy a flavorful meal that’s both light and satisfying. Packed with fresh vegetables and rich umami flavors.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1 cup bell peppers, diced
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the ground beef, minced garlic, and ginger. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the shredded carrots and diced bell peppers. Pour in the soy sauce and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Add the rice vinegar and mix well, cooking for an additional minute to blend the flavors.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the beef mixture in lettuce cups, garnished with chopped green onions.

Notes

Ground turkey or chicken can be used as a leaner protein alternative. Feel free to mix in other vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini for added texture.
