Numbered instructions

1Brown the beef in a hot skillet and drain any excess fat if needed.

2Add garlic and shallot and cook until fragrant.

3Stir in tamari, fish sauce, lime juice, and chili flakes.

4Fold in basil just until wilted.

5Spoon the beef into lettuce cups and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

Use high heat so the beef browns instead of steams.

Add the basil off the heat to keep it vivid green.

Serve with cucumber slices to cool the spice.

Recipe Variations

Swap beef for ground chicken or turkey.

Add chopped water chestnuts if you want more crunch.
