Ingredients

• Ground beef - 250 grams
• Wild betel leaves (lá lốt) - 10 leaves
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Shallot - 1 small, finely chopped
• Fish sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Coconut aminos - 1 tablespoon
• Black pepper - 1 teaspoon
• Red chili flakes - 1/2 teaspoon (optional)
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon (for grilling)
• Lettuce leaves - 4 leaves (for serving)
• Fresh herbs (mint, cilantro) - 1/2 cup mixed (for serving)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, chopped shallot, fish sauce, coconut aminos, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
