Ingredients

  • 1 sprays cooking spray
  • 1 pound uncooked lean ground beef (with 7% fat)
  • 1 cup onion(s), yellow, thinly sliced
  • 2 Tbsp ginger root, fresh, minced
  • 2 medium garlic clove(s), minced
  • 2 cup bok choy, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper(s), thinly sliced
  • 2 cup button mushrooms, thinly sliced (about 10 mushrooms)
  • 2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 8 leaf bibb lettuce

Directions

  1. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set pan over medium-high heat. Add beef, onion, ginger and garlic; cook until beef is browned and onion is soft, breaking up meat as it cooks, about 5 to 7 minutes.

  2. Add bok choy, pepper, mushrooms and soy sauce; cook, stirring occasionally, until bok choy is wilted and pepper is tender-crisp, about 3 to 5 minutes.

  3. Spoon about 1/2 cup of beef mixture into each lettuce leaf. Yields 2 filled leaves per serving. Serve with extra soy sauce if desired.
