Quick Summary

Tender, braised beef seasoned with ginger and garlic, served in crisp butter lettuce cups. This recipe is low-carb, protein-rich, and ready to brighten your dinner table.

Ingredients

1.5 lbs beef flank steak
2 tbsp avocado oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

1/4 cup tamari or soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 head butter lettuce
2 green onions, sliced

Method

1. Sear the beef in a hot pan with avocado oil until browned on both sides.
2. Add aromatics, soy sauce, and a splash of water. Simmer covered for 45 minutes until the beef shreds easily with a fork.
3. Shred the meat directly into the pan juices to soak up the flavor.
4. Spoon the beef into washed, dry lettuce leaves and top with green onions.

Stewart's Secret: Let the beef rest in its juices for ten minutes before shredding. This ensures the meat stays succulent and deeply seasoned.
