Steps:
- Rinse whole lettuce leaves and pat dry, being careful not tear them. Set aside.
- In a medium skillet over high heat, brown the ground beef in 1 tablespoon of oil, stirring often and reducing the heat to medium, if necessary. Drain, and set aside to cool. Cook the onion in the same pan, stirring frequently. Add the garlic, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger, vinegar, and chile pepper sauce to the onions, and stir. Stir in chopped water chestnuts, green onions, and sesame oil, and continue cooking until the onions just begin to wilt, about 2 minutes.
- Arrange lettuce leaves around the outer edge of a large serving platter, and pile meat mixture in the center. To serve, allow each person to spoon a portion of the meat into a lettuce leaf. Wrap the lettuce around the meat like a burrito.
EXPRESS ASIAN BEEF LETTUCE WRAPS
This recipe was in the local Sunday paper. It sounded good and is. It is also very easy and quick to prepare. I didn't mix in the vegetables as I was selling it to DS as "Asian tacos." LOL. I did have some tortillas on hand for DS to use also. I did not use mint. Substitute iceberg or romaine lettuce for Boston lettuce, as desired. This recipe can also be found in "The Healthy Beef Cookbook."

Tips:
- Mise en place: As with all cooking, having all of your ingredients prepped and ready to go before you start cooking will make the process much smoother and less stressful.
- Use a good quality ground beef: The better the quality of the beef, the better your lettuce wraps will taste. Look for a lean ground beef (80/20 is a good option) that is fresh and has a good color.
- Don't overcook the beef: The beef should be cooked just until it is no longer pink in the center. Overcooked beef will be tough and dry.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The vegetables in the lettuce wraps add flavor, texture, and nutrients. Use a variety of vegetables that you like, such as carrots, celery, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
- Make sure the lettuce leaves are large enough: The lettuce leaves should be large enough to hold all of the fillings. If the leaves are too small, they will tear and the fillings will fall out.
- Serve the lettuce wraps immediately: The lettuce wraps are best served immediately after they are made. The lettuce will wilt if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
These Asian Beef Lettuce Wraps are a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. They are also a great option for parties or potlucks. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your lettuce wraps are perfect every time.
