Beef Lettuce Wraps

Fill crisp lettuce leaves with sliced flank steak topped with a zesty sauce made from lime juice, brown sugar, and minced pepper. Soba noodle salad complements the meaty lettuce wraps and brings another texture to the plate.

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 1 (1-pound) flank steak, trimmed
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 4 teaspoons dark brown sugar
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
  • 8 Bibb lettuce leaves
  • 1 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1 cup torn fresh mint
  • 1/2 cup matchstick-cut English cucumber
  • 1/2 cup torn fresh cilantro

Preparation

1. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper. Place steak in pan; cook 5 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove from pan; let stand 10 minutes. Cut steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices.

2. Combine juice, fish sauce, sugar, and jalapeño in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Reserve 4 teaspoons juice mixture in a small serving bowl. Pour remaining juice mixture in a large bowl; add steak, tossing to coat. Place 1 1/2 ounces beef in center of each lettuce leaf; top each with 2 tablespoons onion, 2 tablespoons mint, 1 tablespoon cucumber, and 1 tablespoon cilantro. Sprinkle evenly with peanuts; roll up. Serve with reserved juice mixture.
