Sliced round steak and shredded carrots are braised in a rich soy-ginger sauce and served in delicate Boston-lettuce leaves.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 tbsp. sugar
- 2 tsp. Asian sesame oil
- 1 tsp. minced, peeled fresh ginger
- 1/4 tsp. ground red pepper
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 beef top round steak
- 4 stalk celery with leaves
- 5 oz. shredded carrots
- 3 green onions
- 1 tbsp. sesame seeds
- 1 head Boston lettuce
- Green-onion tops
Instructions
- In medium bowl, stir soy sauce, sugar, oil, ginger, ground red pepper, and garlic until blended. Add beef, turning to coat with soy-sauce mixture, and marinate 15 minutes at room temperature, stirring occasionally.
- In nonstick 12-inch skillet, heat celery, carrots, and 1/3 cup water to boiling over medium-high heat. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until vegetables are tender-crisp, stirring occasionally. Add beef with its marinade and cook 2 minutes or until meat just loses its pink color throughout, stirring quickly and constantly. Stir in green onions and sesame seeds, and cook 1 minute, stirring.
- To serve, let each person place some beef mixture on a lettuce leaf. Garnish with green-onion tops. If you like, fold sides of lettuce leaf over filling to make a package to eat out of hand.
