Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 large lettuce leaves such as romaine or butter lettuce
  • 1 lime cut into wedges

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the sliced red bell pepper, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the fresh Thai basil leaves, mixing until they are wilted.
  5. To assemble the rolls, place a generous spoonful of the beef mixture onto a lettuce leaf. Fold the sides of the leaf over the filling and roll it up tightly.
  6. Serve the rolls with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
