About this recipe
Inspired by traditional Asian lettuce wraps, this recipe modernizes the idea by incorporating fresh ingredients like zucchini and broccolini, providing an interesting texture while highlighting the flavours of beef and coriander. The freshness of the lettuce adds a satisfying crunch, making this a wholesome and delightful meal.
Method
-
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
Finely dice the zucchini and chop the broccolini into small pieces. Mince the coriander leaves. Set aside in separate bowls to keep them organised.
-
Step 2: Cook the beef filling
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef mince and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked (about 5-6 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary.
Ensure the beef reaches an internal temperature of 75°C to be safe for consumption. -
Step 3: Add vegetables and seasoning
Stir in the diced zucchini, chopped broccolini, coriander, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
-
Step 4: Assemble the wraps
Lay out the lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Scoop the beef mixture into the centre of each leaf. Serve immediately, allowing everyone to wrap their own.
Tips
- For a spicier version, add chopped chilli or a dash of sriracha to the beef mixture.
- If you prefer, substitute the broccolini with finely chopped red bell pepper for added sweetness and crunch.
- You can prepare the beef filling ahead of time and reheat it just before serving.
