Spicy Beef Wraps
This is a great dish that I like to use as an entree but is equally good as a main. Beef mince is stir fried with spice then wrapped in a lettuce leaf to serve. Works well with other minces such as pork and chicken.
Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 250 beef mine
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 red capsicum, finely diced
- 1 red onion, finely diced
- 2 sicks celery, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1 pinch ground coriander, to taste
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper, to taste
- 1 dash soy sauce, to taste
- 1 iceberg lettuce
- 1 bunch long chives, for presentation

- In a frypan cook the meat until brown. Drain off all the excess fat. Reserve the meat.
- Heat the butter in the frypan and lightly fry the capsicum, onion, celery and sunflower seed.
- Add the cooked beef, spices and soy sauce then stir in until blended.
- Peel off 4 large leaves from the lettuce, rinse and shake dry. Spoon in the meat mixture and gently roll up the leaf length ways.
- Tie up the roll with a couple of long chives and knot or bow.
- Serve immediately as the meat will go cold quickly and the lettuce will wilt from the heat.

Not bad. I thought the over all flavor was lacking something but I'm not quite sure what (sesame oil maybe?). I wasn't overly keen on the pine nuts and celery. This was ok for a change but isn't something I'd make again. Thanks anyway! - 23 Mar 2010 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Made as written except I left out the pine nuts due to personal preference and added chopped water chestnuts instead. I too felt the recipe as written lacked something so after tasting it I added some sesame oil and Sriracha which bumped the flavor up a notch. Good base recipe just needs some amping up, - 21 Jan 2017 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
