A little lighter than the traditional Korean bulgogi-centred meal, these lettuce cups are the perfect vehicle for a tasty beef and rice filling.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce, low-sodium

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 4 tsp sesame oil, divided

  • 1/2 tsp hot pepper flakes

  • 1 tbsp brown sugar, packed

  • 400 g beef sirloin, thinly sliced

  • 1 cup rice, jasmine

  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced

  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced

  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted

  • 1 head lettuce, Bibb, leaves separated

Instructions

1. Whisk soy sauce with garlic, 1 tbsp sesame oil, sugar and pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Add beef and stir until well coated. Let stand for 25 min. Meanwhile, cook rice in a small saucepan following package directions. Let stand for 10 min, then fluff with a fork. 2. Heat a large frying pan, preferably non-stick, over medium-high. Add remaining sesame oil, then onion. Cook until almost softened, 2 to 3 min. Add beef mixture and cook until no pink remains, about 5 min. Stir in green onions and sesame seeds. Transfer beef bulgogi to a platter. 3. To assemble, scoop some rice and bulgogi onto each lettuce leaf. Wrap and eat like a taco.
