These beef lettuce wraps are an easy, delicious weeknight meal that you have to try! The beef is browned with red peppers, green onions, honey, garlic and ginger then served in crisp, refreshing lettuce wraps. They are so satisfying and taste amazing!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- kosher salt and pepper
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce, plus extra for serving
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced
- sesame seeds, for topping
- iceberg, romaine or butter lettuce leaves, washed and dried
- 1 carrot, peeled and finely grated
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bell pepper with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until it’s slightly soft, about 3 minutes.
- Add in the ground beef with another pinch of salt and pepper. Break it apart and brown it until completely cooked through and even crisp. Stir in the garlic and the ginger.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, sesame oil and rice vinegar. Pour it into the skillet and stir, making sure everything is combined. Cook for 2 to 3 more minutes. Stir in the green onions. Remove the mixture from the heat.
- Make sure the lettuce leaves are thoroughly cleaned and dried. Top with some of the grated carrots and a few spoonfuls of the ground beef. Top with sesame seeds, extra green onions and soy sauce if you wish!
