Sesame Beef, Asparagus & Carrot Lettuce Wraps with CilantroSesame Beef, Asparagus & Carrot Lettuce Wraps with Cilantro — a 40-minute dinner recipe with 13 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

1 ½ small bunches asparagus

1 ½ heads butter (Boston) lettuce

6 medium carrots

1 small bunch cilantro

3 (2 ½ cm) pieces ginger root

1 lime

1.02 kg striploin (New York strip) steak

black pepper

rice vinegar

salt

sesame seeds

soy sauce

toasted sesame oil

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Snap or cut off the woody ends of the asparagus and cut into 1-inch pieces.

In a medium saucepan, bring 1-inch of water to a boil over high heat. Add asparagus and cook, uncovered, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, peel and mince or grate ginger; transfer to a large bowl.

Add soy sauce, oil, and vinegar to the bowl with the ginger; whisk to combine the dressing.

When the asparagus is done, drain and add to the bowl with the dressing; set aside.

Preheat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or regular skillet over medium-high heat.

While the grill pan heats up, pat the steak dry with paper towels and place on a plate; season with salt and pepper on both sides.

Once the grill pan is hot, coat with oil. Working in batches if necessary, add steak and grill until desired doneness, 2-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean plate, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and set aside to rest for about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, peel and trim carrots. Using a julienne (or regular) peeler, peel carrots into thin noodle-like sticks; add to bowl with the asparagus.

Shave cilantro leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves.

Slice lime into wedges.

Thinly slice steak against the grain and add to the bowl with the vegetables. Toss to combine.

Separate the lettuce into leaves. Pile leaves, in stacks of two per wrap, onto plates. Fill with steak, vegetables, and cilantro; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with lime wedges on the side and enjoy!
