Mango Beef and Rice Lettuce

Cooking Instructions

Leftover rice paired with an Asian-inspired filling and enveloped in a crispy lettuce leaf offers a fun and light-hearted approach to eating – no utensils required. A healthy and satiating dinner for two, these wraps are as fun to assemble as they are to eat.

In a medium sized bowl, toss beef strips with cornstarch until well coated.

In large a skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add beef and sear on all sides, about 2 minutes.

Transfer to a plate; set aside. In same skillet, add onion, cooking until golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in garlic, ginger, red chili flakes, soy sauce and vinegar; cook, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add red pepper, mango and beef. Cook, until sauce thickens enough to coat beef, about 5 minutes.
​
To serve: Spoon rice into a lettuce leaf and top with some of the beef mixture. Top with fresh cilantro or green onions if desired.
