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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
