Ingredients

  • Beef sirloin - 300 grams, thinly sliced
  • Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) - 3 tablespoons
  • Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Erythritol (or sweetener of choice) - 1 tablespoon
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
  • Green onion - 2 stalks, chopped
  • Lettuce leaves (butter or romaine) - 8 leaves
  • Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon, toasted
  • Carrot - 1 small, julienned (optional for garnish)
  • Cucumber - 1 small, julienned (optional for garnish)

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, erythritol, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green onion to create the marinade.
  2. Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and caramelized.
  4. While the beef cooks, prepare the lettuce wraps by rinsing the lettuce leaves and patting them dry.
  5. Once the beef is ready, assemble the wraps by placing a portion of beef in the center of each lettuce leaf.
  6. Top with toasted sesame seeds, and if using, add julienned carrots and cucumbers for garnish.
  7. Fold the lettuce around the filling and enjoy your Keto Bulgogi Lettuce Wraps!
