Chinese Spicy Beef Lettuce Wraps image

From OregonLive.com. I loved the beef lettuce wraps from a restaurant in Montauk, NY called East by Northeast. This was the closest I have found to recreating it with a few minor adjustments from me.

Time 30m

Yield 10 wraps, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb lean ground beef
2 minced garlic cloves
1 tablespoon sherry wine
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
1 teaspoon thai chili paste (sambal oelek)
1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
1 bunch green onion, white parts chopped green parts cut on bias in 1/4-inch lengths (divided)
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and coarsely chopped
1 jalapeno chile, seeded, deveined and minced
1 teaspoon cornstarch, mixed with
1 tablespoon cold water
2 heads bibb lettuce or 2 heads butter lettuce

Steps:

  • Spray large, heavy skillet with nonstick cooking spray. In skillet set over medium-high heat, brown ground beef; drain if necessary.
  • Add garlic, sherry, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili paste, five-spice powder, white part of green onions, water chestnuts and minced chile. Turn down heat and simmer about 10 minutes.
  • Add cornstarch-water mixture to beef mixture and stir until it thickens slightly. Add green part of green onions and cook just until heated through (onion tops will lose their bright green color if cooked too long).
  • Separate lettuce leaves, wash and pat dry. Arrange lettuce cups on platter and serve alongside beef mixture.
  • Serve with my Sweet Soy Dipping Sauce (#144178) A must-have for the lettuce wraps !
