– 1 Tablespoon Toasted Sesame Oil

– 2-3 Cloves Garlic, Minced

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
  4. Pour the sauce over the beef and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Add the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Spoon the teriyaki beef into lettuce cups.
  7. Garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and shredded carrots if desired.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey to taste.
  • Serve with steamed rice for a more filling meal.
  • Store leftover beef mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
