Spice Up Your Dinner with Asian-Style Ground Beef Lettuce Wraps

Learn how to make delicious Asian-Style Ground Beef Lettuce Wraps. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Let’s gather up all the ingredients you’ll need to create these delightful wraps. Here’s the lineup:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 head of butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce, leaves separated
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (for garnish)

Feel free to swap the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken if that’s more your style. The lettuce can easily be substituted with any leafy green that can hold that delicious beef filling.

Instructions

Now, let’s get cooking! Here’s how you can bring these wraps to life:

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
  5. Pour the sauce over the cooked beef, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes to let the flavors meld together.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the green onions and shredded carrots.
  7. To serve, spoon the beef mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for a little extra crunch and flavor.

These wraps come together in under 30 minutes, making them a go-to in my house. My kiddos love helping with the assembly, which makes dinner time a team effort.
