Asian Beef Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 T. olive oil
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 T. fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 T. toasted sesame oil
  • 3 T. soy sauce
  • 1 T. Sriracha, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 t. honey
  • Pinch each salt and pepper
  • 1 1/2 T. fresh lime juice
  • butter or romaine lettuce leaves, for serving
  • 1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts, for garnish
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for garnish

Instructions

  • Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain fat, put beef into a bowl and set aside.
  • Add olive oil to the skillet and sauté scallions, garlic, and ginger for 2 minutes. Turn the heat to medium low and stir in sesame oil, soy sauce, Sriracha, and honey. Combine quickly and return the ground beef to the pan and add the lime juice. Stir. Cook for a couple of minutes until heated through.
  • Serve in lettuce leaves garnished with chopped peanuts, cilantro, and lime wedges.

Notes

The cooked beef mixture freezes beautifully and defrosts and reheats just fine in the microwave. Just make sure to have fresh lettuce leaves and garnishes at serving time.
