Number Of Ingredients 11

3 medium carrots
2 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar

1 Thai red chile, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon sugar
Coarse salt
Bibb lettuce leaves, separated

  • Serve the steak lettuce wraps immediately, while the steak is still hot.
  • You can add other toppings to the lettuce wraps, such as shredded carrots, cucumber, or bell pepper.
  • For a spicy kick, add a dollop of Sriracha or chili sauce to the lettuce wraps.
