Just a little variation on my Korean Beef Lettuce Wraps! The perfect quick dinner for summer nights or anytime you’re cravin’ some Asian! So easy to make and won’t heat up the kitchen too much! Gluten free with a tasty sauce that resembles a light teriyaki. Just think of them like an Asian street taco :)
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons minced garlic
¼-1/2 teaspoon pure sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon dried ginger or ginger paste
1/4-1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
For Serving:
steamed white rice
steamed broccoli florets
steamed or raw shredded carrots
chopped cilantro
chopped peanuts or sliced almonds
Brown ground beef and drain any grease if necessary. Add remaining ingredients and stir until heated. Simmer on low to tenderize meat more, but not required. Serve with steamed rice on lettuce leaves. Top individual wraps with shredded carrots and chopped peanuts.
Variation: If the sauce is too sweet for your taste, half each of the sugars.
