Slow Cooker Korean Beef Lettuce Wraps
Lettuce Wraps are a great option when you are trying to cut down on carbs or are eating gluten free.
Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. Jim and I made a trip to Seattle and went to a Mariner’s Game Friday night. My husband loves baseball and I basically go for the food. Safeco Field where the Marnier’s play has some good places to eat. Who can pass up those Rally fries when that garlic scent permeates the stadium and I always like Ivar’s fish & chips! A dish of Dippin’ Dots for dessert is always a must too. After eating stadium food this weekend though, I am ready for something yummy and a little better and healthier for me!
Slow Cooker Korean Beef Lettuce Wraps are the answer to something yummy and healthier. My husband is gluten free so a lettuce wrap is a great alternative to a sandwich and if you are counting your carbs they are a great choice.
Today’s recipe is made using beef bottom round roast. You get a lot of great flavor from soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ginger, sesame oil and a bit of sweetness from some brown sugar.
The whole thing cooks for about 8 hours on low in the slow cooker. After it is nice and tender pull it out and shred it. Reserve some of the sauce to use over the meat and to help keep it moist.
The Korean Beef could totally be served over rice but it is fun to change it up now and then and a lettuce wrap is just a fun way to eat. I sprinkled the meat with some shredded carrot, chopped green onion, a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a dose of slivered almonds which gives it lots of great texture and crunch. I served it on butter lettuce which I think is easier to eat than Iceberg which is crisper and tends to fall apart easier than the softer butter lettuce.
Enjoy this yummy and healthy dinner idea this week!
