# How To Make It:

01 - Combine sliced beef with soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix well and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
02 - Heat a nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 - In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until combined.
04 - Lay out the lettuce leaves and spread a small amount of sauce on each leaf.
05 - Distribute the cooked beef evenly among the lettuce leaves. Top with carrot, cucumber, and spring onion.
06 - Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and chopped cilantro on each wrap if desired.
07 - Roll or fold the lettuce leaves around the filling to form wraps. Serve immediately.

# Tips from dashanddishes:

01 -
  • Protein-packed and satisfying without feeling heavy, especially when you need energy but not a food coma.
  • Comes together faster than most takeout, and tastes better because the lettuce is actually crisp.
  • One of those rare dishes where people ask for the recipe because they're genuinely surprised how good it is.
02 -
  • Don't skip the marinating step—even 10 minutes transforms thin beef from bland to deeply flavorful, and it's the difference between tasting the soy sauce and just tasting salt.
  • Oversaucing is the most common mistake; you want the lettuce to taste like lettuce with beef and sauce, not a wet taco masquerading as health food.
  • Room-temperature beef becomes chewy, so serve these while the meat is still warm but the vegetables are cool—that temperature contrast is exactly what makes them good.
03 -
  • Prep all your vegetables ahead of time and this becomes a five-minute dinner, transforming it from weekend project to weeknight staple.
  • Toast your sesame seeds in a dry pan for 30 seconds before sprinkling them on—the difference in flavor is shocking and takes no extra time.
