Asian Beef Cabbage Wraps Recipes

SPICY GROUND BEEF CABBAGE WRAPS WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, sambal oelek, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes for sauce together in a small bowl. Whisk in small amount of water slowly until well combined and you reach your desired consistency. Set aside.
• Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Brown the ground beef, green onions, and garlic for about 5 minutes. Stir in rice vinegar, sambal oelek, cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Divide the ground beef mixture evenly among the 12 cabbage leaves. Top each with a dollop of the peanut sauce, a squeeze of a lime wedge, and sprinkle with peanuts. Fold up the sides of the leaves and serve.

THAI STEAK CABBAGE WRAPS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Turn off the heat, add the rice noodles and stir to loosen. Let sit until tender, 2 to 4 minutes; drain and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Shake out as much water as possible and transfer the noodles to a medium bowl. Toss with 1 teaspoon sesame oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Combine 1/4 cup water, the chili sauce, fish sauce, lime juice and 2 pinches salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper and rub all over with the oyster sauce and remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Grill the steak, 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pull off 16 outer leaves from the cabbage head and cut off the leafy tops. Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Fill the cabbage leaves with the noodles, mango, steak, peanuts, cilantro and basil. Season with salt. Serve with the sauce.
