Ground Beef Filling

Equipment

  • Measuring cup
  • 10” skillet
  • Wood spoon

Method
 

  1. Make the sauce. Combine the maple syrup, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a measuring cup. Whisk until combined. Add the arrowroot powder and whisk until well combined.
  2. Heat olive oil in a 10” skillet over medium high heat until it shimmers. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring with a wood spoon to break up, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring continuously, until very fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add the bell pepper and carrots and cook until bite tender, 3-4 minutes.
  5. Pour the sauce over the skillet contents, then stir. Simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Stir in the sliced green onions.
  7. Spoon the filling into lettuce wraps (with or without rice) and garnish with sesame seeds.
