Instructions

MAKE THE SAUCE:

  • In a liquid measuring cup (or medium bowl with a spout) add brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger and garlic, coconut aminos, lime juice, sriracha and toasted sesame oil. Whisk well to combine.

MAKE THE LETTUCE WRAPS:

  • Prep the veggies and any desired toppings.
  • Heat a large 12 to 14-inch skillet or wok over high heat. Once hot, add the avocado oil and the diced cube steak.
  • Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring often, until fully cooked and golden brown in spots. Remove and discard any fat that has rendered out.
  • Next pour in the sauce and stir until thickened. This should only take a minute or two.
  • Fill your lettuce leaves with the veggies you desire, top with some of the sriracha steak filling and top with yum yum sauce, green onions and jalapeños (if desired).
