This recipe comes from this months issue of Women’s Health Magazine. It reminds me of my favorite at P.F. Chang’s China Bistro…their lettuce wraps which are so good. But this recipe looks pretty easy!
I like it because it only has a few ingredients, quick enough to make on any night of the week.
12 oz. skirt steak or sirloin steak
1/2 TB chili sauce
1 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced
1 TB. fish sauce
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
You’ll also need:
limes, cut into wedges
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 carrot, grated and peeled
1 head Bibb lettuce, washed and dried, leaves separated
1. Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat for at least 5 minutes. Meanwhile season the steak with salt and pepper. Cook until it’s firm, but yields to the touch (about 4 minutes per side). Remove from heat and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
2. In a small sauce pan heat the chili sauce, fish sauce, and the juice of one of the limes over low heat.
3. Slice the steak thinly (cut against the grain) and drizzle half of the warm sauce over it. Set out the jalapeno slices, carrot, lettuce and remaining lime wedges and sauce, and build the wrap from there.

LOVE lettuce wraps, and these look so simple and so good! Thanks!
Yum! I saw this recipe too and ever since I’ve been wanting some kind of lettuce wraps or cabbage rolls. (I saw cabbage rolls in another magazine ; )
This does look easy. I love PFChangs lettuce wraps too! So Good!
These look super good and so easy! Probably better than PF Chang’s (although I do love their food). Thanks for your kind words on my blog!
I love the lettuce wraps at P.F. Chang’s. Your recipe sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing! Just thinking of them makes me happy… 🙂
that looks DELISH! I love them things!
Thanks for sharing! This is definitely the best recipe for lettuce wraps i’ve seen – they usually have like 30+ ingredients. boo.
Fish sauce is the secret ingredient. 🙂 We’ve ordered oyster sauce and can’t wait to test it out in different recipes too.
My SIL loves these I’ll have to pass this recipe to her.
