Spicy chilli beef served wrapped in gem lettuce with a lovely dipping sauce.

A perfect amount of spiciness in the beef and the dipping sauce has a delicious sweetness to it.

Top Tip!

If you do make these, be sure not to add the chopped coriander to the sauce until you are about to serve or it will go horrid and black.

You can buy toasted sesame oil over at Amazon in any good supermarket.

Don't be put off by the 'fish sauce' as it is the most important seasoning in Southeast Asian cuisine, especially Thai cuisine.

Chilli Beef Lettuce Wraps - Gordon Ramsay

Spicy beef wrapped in lettuce leaves. Easy finger food recipe.

Prep time: 20 MinCook time: 10 MinTotal time: 30 Min

Ingredients

• mild olive oil, for frying
• 200g lean beef mince
• 200g lean pork mince
• toasted sesame oil, for frying
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 5cm piece root ginger, peeled and finely chopped
• 1-2 red chillies, deseeded and chopped
• 1 tbsp light brown sugar
• 1 tbsp fish sauce
• zest of 1 lime plus the juice of half
• 3 spring onions (green onions), chopped
• 2 little gem lettuces, separated into leaves, to serve

For the dressing

• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• juice of ½ lime
• 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
• ½ red chilli, thinly sliced
• small handful of coriander leaves (cilantro), chopped
• 2 tsp fish sauce, to taste
• 1 tsp light brown sugar
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. Heat a large frying pan and add a little oil. Mix the minced beef and pork together in a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed. Fry the mince in the hot pan for 5-7 minutes until crisp and brown and broken down to a fine consistency.
2. Drain the crisped mince in a sieve - this will help it stay crispy and set aside.
3. Wipe out the pan and add a tablespoon of toasted sesame oil. Add the garlic, ginger and chilli. Fry with a pinch of salt and the sugar for 2 minutes. Add the drained mince and stir to mix.
4. Add the fish sauce and heat through. Stir in the lime zest and juice, then add the spring onions, stirring for 30 seconds. Turn off the heat.
5. Mix all the dressing ingredients and adjust to taste.
6. To serve, spoon some of the mince mixture into the lettuce leaves, drizzle with a little dressing and serve.
