Asian-Style Beef Lettuce Cups Recipe

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 bunch scallions, chopped (whites and greens separated)
• 2 carrots, diced
• 3 stalks of celery, diced
• 1 small red bell pepper, diced
• 1 small green bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup cauliflower rice
• 3 tbsp teriyaki sauce (I used Big Tree Farms)
• 2 tbsp Japanese BBQ sauce (I used Bachan’s)
• 1 tbsp gochujang
• 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tsp tapioca flour (or corn starch)
• 1 head butter lettuce, washed/leaves separated
• Optional: I used Momofuku Chili Crunch for a spicy topping!

Directions:

1. Heat olive or sesame oil in a pan on medium heat. Once hot, add the carrot, celery and the scallion whites. Saute for a few minutes until scallions are translucent.
2. While cooking, in a small bowl mix together the teriyaki, Japanese BBQ sauce, gochujang, rice vinegar, garlic and tapioca.
3. Add the bell pepper and cauliflower rice to the pan. Saute for about 3 minutes until veggies start to get tender and then add the ground beef to the center of the pan, breaking it up as it cooks.
4. Once beef is almost fully browned, add your sauce to the pan.
5. Mix everything together, letting the sauce thicken for about 1-2 minutes and then remove from heat.
6. Serve beef mixture in lettuce cups and then top with the greens of the scallion and chili crunch. Enjoy!!
