Gluten-free Beef Lettuce Wraps
Impress yourself with a light, wonderful, balanced meal that's as easy to make as it is fun! It involves some chopping, slicing, steaming and sautéeing ~ a treat to involve your friends (parents, neighbors, older kids,...) in.
Combine any veggie and protein you crave, some spices, onion, Tamari sauce, and prepare for sweet indulgence.
Ingredients
- 1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2/3 cup fire-roasted red bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1-2 zucchini green and/or yellow
- 2 medium steaks sliced thin on a diagonal
- 2 tablespoons Tamari soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon rice wine vinegar (or Mirin)
- 1-2 cups steamed rice
- 1 head butter lettuce
Instructions
-
Add some olive oil to a wok or skillet. On medium heat, sauté onion and red bell pepper until onions are clear. Add garlic and sauté another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and move to side dish. Add another dash of the oil to your skillet and sauté the zucchini until tender.
-
In a small bowl, combine the Tamari sauce, brown sugar and red wine vinegar. Set aside.
-
Thinly sliced beef, zucchini, onion, garlic, fire-roasted red bell pepper and Tamari sauce creates a delicious filling for lettuce wraps.
-
Heat some oil in a skillet and sauté/brown the sliced beef for approx. 2-3 minutes, turning once. Add the sauce mixture above and sauté another minute. Add the veggies mixture, remove from heat and cover a few minutes while you prep the plates.
-
Choose a bright colored butter lettuce for your wraps. They're easy to 'fill' and super fun finger food!
-
On each plate place two pieces of butter lettuce, add a few spoonfuls of steamed rice, and add your beef and veggie mixture. Serve with a slice of sweet fruit.

(Try experimenting with chicken, tofu if you like it ;o), and a variety of colorful veggies.)

Better tasting than in the restaurants ;o)... give it a try!

Does it need to be Tamari soy sauce, and what kind of rice would you suggest? Think we will try it tomorrow afternoon 🙂

Tamari soy sauce is gluten-free. I’m unsure of other g-free soy sauce brands ~ this is one I’ve used that tastes great. Experiment and let me know how it goes ;o).
I enjoy basmati white steamed rice with my lettuce wraps, however any steamed rice will work. It’s just a preference of taste. Looking forward to hearing more about your meal!
