Description
These Honey Garlic Beef Lettuce Wraps are a fresh, flavorful, and satisfying dish made with tender sirloin strips, a sweet-savory garlic sauce, and crisp vegetables wrapped in butter lettuce. Perfect for warm days or light meals.
Ingredients
- 3/4 lb sirloin, thinly sliced
- Butter lettuce leaves (enough for 7–8 wraps)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 3/4 cup sweet onion, diced
- 3/4 cup sweet mini red bell pepper, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp freshly grated ginger or 1/2 tsp dried ginger
- Dash of red pepper flakes
- 1/3 cup orange juice
- 1 heaping teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 cups Asian Chopped Salad Mix
Instructions
- Place the sirloin in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm it up for easier slicing. Remove and slice thinly across the grain.
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, ginger, red pepper flakes, orange juice, and cornstarch. Set aside.
- Dice the peppers and onions; mince the garlic.
- Heat sesame oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the meat strips, onions, peppers, and garlic. Stir-fry until the beef is cooked but still slightly pink to avoid overcooking.
- Remove the beef and vegetables from the pan. Wipe the pan clean.
- Add the sauce to the pan and cook on low heat until thickened.
- Return the beef mixture to the pan and stir to coat thoroughly.
- Add the 2 cups of slaw mix and stir lightly.
- Spoon the beef mixture into butter lettuce leaves and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use ribeye or another tender steak if preferred.
- Swap the slaw mix with shredded cabbage or add fresh vegetables like carrots or cucumber.
- Add more red pepper flakes or chili paste for extra heat.
- Assemble wraps just before serving to prevent soggy lettuce.
- For a heartier meal, serve with rice or quinoa.
