• 8 leaves butter lettuce leaves
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon sriracha
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Slice the boneless beef sirloin thinly against the grain and place in a medium bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, red chili flakes, and lime juice. Pour this marinade over the sliced beef, cover, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

In another small bowl, whisk together low-sugar rice vinegar and granular erythritol until dissolved. Pour over the julienned carrot and daikon radish, tossing to coat. Set aside to pickle, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Mix mayonnaise and sriracha in a small bowl to create a spicy mayo. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated beef slices to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Prepare the lettuce wraps by laying out butter lettuce leaves on a serving plate.

Step 7

Spread a small amount of spicy mayo on each lettuce leaf.

Step 8

Top with slices of cucumber, pickled vegetables, cooked beef, fresh cilantro leaves, and green onions.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
