Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) grass-fed ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, diced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 head Romaine or butter lettuce, leaves separated
  • Fresh cilantro or sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or avocado oil.
  2. Add the ground grass-fed beef and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Add minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
  4. If using bell pepper, stir it in and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes.
  5. Add tamari (or soy sauce), apple cider vinegar (or lime juice), honey or maple syrup, ground ginger (if using), chili flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir well and simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Wash and thoroughly dry the lettuce leaves, arranging them on a serving plate.
  7. Spoon the warm beef mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf, being careful not to overfill.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro or sliced green onions and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, add shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, or crushed peanuts.
  • Adjust spice level by increasing chili flakes or adding sriracha.
  • Store leftover beef mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Keep lettuce and filling separate to prevent sogginess.
  • The beef mixture can be frozen for up to 3 months and reheated before serving.
