Asian Beef Lettuce Wraps

I have been wanting something along these lines for quite some time now. I found a few recipes that looked good and sorta combined them to make this one! My sister Whitney, fresh home from working in Alaska all summer, came and helped me out.

Serves 3-4 people. Takes about 30 minutes top (not including brown rice)

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 minced gloves of garlic
  • 1 TB sesame oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 3 TB brown sugar
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup matchstick carrots
  • bunch of green onions
  • brown rice
  • butter-crunch lettuce

 Brown the beef and garlic. Reduce heat and drain fat.
Add sesame oil, chili powder, brown sugar, ginger, and soy sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Add in carrots and green onion. Turn off heat. Cover and let sit for 3-5 minutes.
Roll in lettuce with rice if desired.

I loved it! Whitney had to put ranch on it and ended up dumping it everywhere. I liked the wraps without lettuce, personally, but Whitney liked it with the brown rice. This recipe was fast, easy, and cheap. It also was low-carb which is always a bonus.

Browning the beef

Aren't we just so cute?

Added everything together! Whitney says we should have added more ginger here but I disagree. 

 The finished meal with pot-stickers and sweet&sour sauce. 


Aaaaaannnndddd......Whitney's ranch fail. 

Super yummy!
