Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 pound beef sirloin thinly sliced
1 head butter lettuce leaves separated
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Marinade

1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
4 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon ginger grated
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 stalks green onions sliced

Toppings

1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted
1/2 cup carrot julienned
1 cup cucumber sliced

Instructions

1 In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, crushed red pepper, and sliced green onions to create the marinade.
2 Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
3 While the beef is marinating, separate the butter lettuce leaves and wash them thoroughly. Pat dry and set aside.
4 Prepare the toppings by toasting the sesame seeds, julienning the carrot, and slicing the cucumber. Set aside for serving.
5 Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in batches, cooking each side for about 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through.
6 Remove cooked beef from the skillet and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
7 To assemble the lettuce wraps, place a few slices of beef onto each lettuce leaf.
8 Top with toasted sesame seeds, julienned carrots, and sliced cucumber.
9 Serve immediately and enjoy the wraps while they are fresh and flavorful.
