Szechuan Beef Lettuce Wraps with Australian Grassfed Beef
Time: 15 Minutes
Serves 4
Ingredients
Canola oil
1 ½ lb Australian grassfed ribeye steak, cut into ¼-inch strips
2 large red chilies, finely sliced
1 tbsp ginger, grated
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
½ tsp Szechuan pepper
1 ½ tsp kosher salt
1 cup green onions, finely sliced
1 large head iceberg lettuce, leaves separated
Directions
Heat ¼ cup canola oil in a large wok over medium-high heat. Add half of the Australian grassfed beef and cook, stirring quickly for 1 minute. With a slotted spoon, transfer beef to a plate. Drain excess fat and set aside. Repeat with the remaining half of the beef.
Wipe the wok clean and heat 2 tbsp canola oil over medium heat. Add the chilies, ginger, and garlic, and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Return the beef to the wok and stir in hoisin sauce. Stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add Szechuan pepper and salt and stir-fry for an additional 30 seconds. Finally, add green onions and stir through to combine.
Serve Australian grassfed beef by spooning over lettuce leaves. Garnish with additional Szechuan pepper and salt if desired.
