Ingredients

8 servings

1 pound steak (or chicken, pork, shrimp or tofu*), sliced into bite-sized pieces
sea salt and freshly-cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced or minced
8 -10 butter lettuce leaves
1 cup thinly sliced English cucumber
1 cup shredded carrots
optional garnishes: thinly-sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds
3 tablespoons gochujang paste
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Steps

Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl until combined. Taste and add any extra maple syrup (to sweeten) or gochujang (for spice) if would like.
Season the steak (or your preferred protein) with a few generous pinches of salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large sauté pan or wok over high heat. Add the steak and garlic and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the steak is browned and tender. Remove pan from heat and stir in half of the gochujang sauce until it has evenly coated the steak.
Portion a spoonful of the saucy steak into each lettuce cup, topped with a few cucumbers and carrots, an extra small drizzle of the remaining sauce, and your desired garnishes.
And enjoy!
