How to Make Korean Beef Lettuce Wraps
Making Korean Beef Lettuce Wraps is SO easy!
- Saute the beef in a skillet. Cook the ground beef until almost cooked through.
- Add the carrots. Soften the carrots slightly as the beef finishes cooking.
- Add the sauce ingredients. Instead of mixing the sauce separately, just add the sauce ingredients straight to the pan and stir well.
- Reduce the sauce. Cook the beef and the carrots in the sauce until it thickens slightly.
- Serve in fresh lettuce. Green leaf lettuce or butter lettuce is perfect for serving!

Low Carb Korean Beef Lettuce Wraps
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup julienne-style carrots or use shredded carrots, if desired
- 4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons Stevia brown sugar (I like the Truvia brand)
- 1/4 teaspoon Sriracha hot sauce (optional, or add more if desired)
- 3 teaspoons water
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 12 medium green lettuce leaves or use butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce, if you prefer
- sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the ground beef and brown it until it's almost cooked through.
- Add the carrots and cook just until they're slightly soft, while the ground beef finishes cooking through.
- Add the soy sauce, garlic, ginger, brown sugar substitute (or stevia), and sriracha and stir well to combine (a sauce will form as you stir).
- Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl with a whisk or a fork until the cornstarch has dissolved. Add the cornstarch mixture to the pan and stir well as the sauce thickens.
- Remove the pan from the heat and serve the beef mixture in its sauce in lettuce wraps (or over rice for a high-carb meal) with some sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Looks great! When do I add the garlic? Could find that in the recipe?
The Busy Baker says
That was an error on our part. We have updated the recipe! You add it in with the soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar substitute (or stevia), and sriracha. Happy cooking ☺️
Rachel says
The garlic goes in the sauce in Step #4
Cathy says
I’m allergic to ginger can I leave out or substitute something
The Busy Baker says
Ginger has no function other than flavour in this recipe so you can feel free to leave it out.
Adam says
So when do you add the garlic because you recipe calls for the ingredient but I don’t see when to add?
The Busy Baker says
That was an error on our part. We have updated the recipe! You add it in with the soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar substitute (or stevia), and sriracha. Happy cooking ☺️
Sophie says
Made this today tasted a little too sweet for me. I would lower the amount of sugar but the flavor is there.
The Busy Baker says
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback! You can for sure adjust the brown sugar substitute to your liking.
Frankie says
Delish! We veganized with impossible ground and added some extra fat (vegan butter). We’ve made this twice now once with romaine the other with butter lettuce. So Good. Thank you
The Busy Baker Team says
We’re so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback!
Joshua Klein says
can you omit the cornstarch ? I’m on keto and cornstarch is a no no – will this affect the taste ?
Ana (The Busy Baker Team) says
It’s not the taste but the consistency of the “sauce” that will be affected by removing the cornstarch (and water), but you can try leaving the slurry out completely.
Dusty says
This has become a weekly favorite in our home. I leave out the sugar and substitute the beef with bison meat.
Ana (The Busy Baker Team) says
Wow! Bison sounds AMAZING! We’re happy our recipe makes it to your table constantly. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback ☺️
Trinity (Tea) says
For me, I liked adding a little more ginger, I also adding some young sprouts for more crunch. Overall, great recipe, very filling, and my family dinner was truly successful!
