Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground sirloin
• 1 chopped onion
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 3 Tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 grated fresh ginger or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds toasted (buy already toasted)
• 1 Tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
• 1/2 Tablespoon chopped green onions
• Boston or red tip lettuce leaves

Directions

1. In a large nonstick skillet, cook meat, onion, and garlic over medium heat 7 minutes, or until done. Drain excess grease
2. Stir in pepper flakes, hoisin sauce, ginger, sesame seeds, vinegar, and green onion.

Terrific Tip:  One of my favorite tips is to buy already toasted sesame seeds which is a time saver!  You can find the toasted sesame seeds in the spice or Asian section of the grocery store.
