How to Make Korean Beef Lettuce Wraps
Making Korean Beef Lettuce Wraps is SO easy!
- Saute the beef in a skillet. Cook the ground beef until almost cooked through.
- Add the carrots. Soften the carrots slightly as the beef finishes cooking.
- Add the sauce ingredients. Instead of mixing the sauce separately, just add the sauce ingredients straight to the pan and stir well.
- Reduce the sauce. Cook the beef and the carrots in the sauce until it thickens slightly.
- Serve in fresh lettuce. Green leaf lettuce or butter lettuce is perfect for serving!

Yield 12 lettuce wraps
Prep 10 minutes mins
Cook 20 minutes mins
Total 30 minutes mins
Recipe: Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup julienne-style carrots or use shredded carrots, if desired
- 4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons Stevia brown sugar (I like the Truvia brand)
- 1/4 teaspoon Sriracha hot sauce (optional, or add more if desired)
- 3 teaspoons water
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 12 medium green lettuce leaves or use butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce, if you prefer
- sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Recipe: Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.
Once the skillet is hot, add the ground beef and brown it until it's almost cooked through.
Add the carrots and cook just until they're slightly soft, while the ground beef finishes cooking through.
Add the soy sauce, garlic, ginger, brown sugar substitute (or stevia), and sriracha and stir well to combine (a sauce will form as you stir).
Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl with a whisk or a fork until the cornstarch has dissolved. Add the cornstarch mixture to the pan and stir well as the sauce thickens.
Remove the pan from the heat and serve the beef mixture in its sauce in lettuce wraps (or over rice for a high-carb meal) with some sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Recipe: Notes
This recipe makes 18 small lettuce wraps or 12 large ones.
To use this recipe for meal prep:Prepare the beef filling up to 3 days ahead and store it in the fridge in an airtight container until ready to serve. Reheat before serving.
