Description

Thinly sliced beef marinated in a savory Korean-inspired sauce, then grilled and served in crisp lettuce cups. A quick, flavorful weeknight meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 oz (227 g) beef, like entrecôte or steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 shallot (finely chopped)
  • 1 clove (finely chopped)
  • 2 fl oz (60 ml) soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 little gem (small lettuce)
  • 1 red chili pepper (sliced)
  • Coriander and rice (to serve with)

Instructions

  1. Mix the garlic, shallot, soy sauce, oil, ginger, and sugar together in a large bowl.
  2. Add the beef and marinate for at least one hour in the refrigerator.
  3. Heat a grill pan (or barbecue) to a high temperature and grill the beef for 30 seconds, or until rare/medium rare.
  4. Serve in little gem leaves with rice, garnished with coriander and chili pepper.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, marinate the beef for at least 2-4 hours, or even overnight.
  • If you don’t have a grill pan, you can pan-fry the beef over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side.
  • To make it ahead, prepare the marinade and marinate the beef. Grill the beef just before serving to maintain its quality.
