Some Good Stuff

During my Christmas break, Felix and I went to Yard House with a couple of friends. We tried out their Asian Lettuce Wraps, and they were good. We both enjoyed it, so much so that I told Felix that I would try cooking it at home. So tonight, that’s what I did, and it was a hit. High five myself on this one!








Ingredients

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 pound ground beef
2-inch piece ginger, peeled and finely grated
2 scallions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 head Boston lettuce, leaves separated, cleaned and dried

Directions

1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil and saute beef until brown.

2. Stir in ginger, scallions, garlic, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, and hoisin and cook for 1 minute.

3. Remove from the heat and stir in the peanuts. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve warm wrapped in lettuce cups. Enjoy!
