Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound thinly sliced beef ribeye or sirloin
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 small green onion, finely chopped
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely minced
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 head butter lettuce or Boston lettuce leaves
  • Optional garnishes: toasted sesame seeds, extra green onions

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, brown sugar or honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and chopped green onion. Whisk until sugar dissolves.
  2. Add thinly sliced beef and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 20 minutes, preferably 1 hour.
  3. Prepare mango salsa by combining diced mango, chopped red bell pepper, minced red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Stir and set aside.
  4. Separate lettuce leaves, rinse under cold water, and pat dry thoroughly.
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated beef in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through. Cook in batches if needed.
  6. Assemble wraps by placing beef on a lettuce leaf, topping with mango salsa, and garnishing with toasted sesame seeds or green onions. Fold or roll and serve immediately.

Notes

Marinate beef for at least 20 minutes for flavor; longer if possible. Avoid overcrowding the pan to get a good sear. Keep lettuce dry to prevent soggy wraps. Mango salsa tastes better after chilling for 30 minutes. Adjust saltiness of marinade with more brown sugar or honey if needed.
