Description

These steak lettuce wraps consist of butter lettuce and seared flat iron steak with a tangy dressing! In about 20 minutes, you’ll have a delicious and healthy meal on the table. 

Ingredients

Steak 

• 3/4 pound flat iron steak (or ribeye or fave cut)
• salt
• pepper
• garlic powder (optional)
• oil 

Sauce

• 1 tablespoon fish sauce 
• 1 tablespoon sugar 
• 1 tablespoon lime juice 
• 2 tablespoons warm water (to help sugar dissolve)
• 3 chilies, crushed or minced 
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed or minced 
• 1 small shallot, minced
• 2 tbsp chopped cilantro (and/or mint) 

To serve

• butter lettuce, washed and dried
• mango, chopped (optional)
• crushed roasted peanuts (optional) 

Instructions

1.  Prepare all ingredients for the wrap. Combine ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl.
2. Heat stainless steel pan on high heat for 2-3 minutes. Add oil. 
3. Once pan starts to smoke, season your steaks with salt and pepper. (Don’t season beforehand or it’ll draw out moisture from the steak preventing a good sear) 
4. Sear both sides for approximately 3 minutes or until internal temperature registers 120F for medium rare.
5. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 10 minutes for the juices to redistribute. The temperature will continue to rise another 5 degrees or so.
