Korean-inspired Aussie grassfed beef lettuce cups topped with kimchi for a fresh, flavorful bite.
Ingredients
For Aussie Beef
- 1.3 lb Aussie grassfed ground beef
- 2 tsp finely grated ginger
- 1 tsp finely chopped garlic
- 2 spring onions, finely chopped
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- Vegetable oil, for brushing
For Lettuce Cups
- 8 iceberg lettuce leaves, trimmed
- ½ cup kimchi, chopped
- Tomato slices, for serving
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Method
For the beef: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ginger, garlic, spring onion, soy sauce, and sugar. Shape into 8 long patties and lightly brush with vegetable oil.
To cook: Preheat a ridged char-grill or barbeque to moderately high and cook the patties for 3 minutes each side or until cooked to your liking. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes, covering loosely with foil.
To serve: Place the patties in the lettuce cups and top with the kimchi to taste. Serve with tomato slices and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.
Tips:
- For an authentic Korean take, try using blanched and chilled cabbage leaves instead of lettuce cups.
- Uncooked beef patties can be prepared up to a few hours ahead and refrigerated until needed.
Chef Note: :
Make these with gluten-free soy or tamari and the whole dish is gluten-free.
