Steak in Lettuce Rolls

These Korean-style steak lettuce wraps offer a vibrant, high-protein meal that is as fresh as it is flavourful. By marinating lean flank or hanger steak in a savoury blend of ginger, garlic, and soy sauce, the meat becomes incredibly tender and infused with aromatic notes. Paired with a zesty spring onion and chilli salad, the dish provides a satisfying crunch and a subtle heat that cuts through the richness of the beef.

Ideal for those seeking a lighter, low-carb alternative to traditional wraps, this recipe uses crisp Bibb lettuce leaves to encase the warm fillings. It is a brilliant choice for a nutritious weekday dinner or a social weekend lunch where guests can build their own rolls. Serve with a dollop of savoury soybean paste for an authentic punch of umami.
