Beef Lettuce Cups
Ingredients:
12 oz. rump steak
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 pc fresh ginger, peeled & grated
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 pinches of five-spice powder (or Mrs. Dash)
1 teaspoon chili sauce
1 tablespoon oil
6 green onions, sliced diagonally
1 small red pepper, seeded & diced
8 crisp lettuce cups, to serve
Sprigs of parsley, to garnish
Cut steak into thin slivers and put in a bowl. Add soy sauce, sherry,
ginger, garlic, five-spice powder and chili sauce. Mix well, then cover and
marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Heat oil in a
large frying pan or wok. Add onion and red pepper and stir-fry for 1 minute.
Add beef mixture to pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, stirring all the time.
Turn mixture into a warm serving dish. Serve at once with chilled lettuce
cups, garnished with sprig of parsley. To serve, simply spoon beef mixture
into lettuce cups and eat with the fingers. Serve with plenty of napkins or
finger bowls - it can be a little messy.
Note: If your stage of diet can handle an extra 2-3 carbs per serving, take
the following extra step to make mixture richer and thicker: Blend 1 tsp.
corn or potato starch smoothly with 1 teaspoon water and add to pan. Cook an
extra minute stirring constantly to thicken.
Serves 8. 4 carbs per serving (without additional starch.)
