Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound thinly sliced beef (sirloin or flank steak)
- 1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves
- 1/2 cup sliced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced carrots
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 12 large lettuce leaves (such as butter or bibb lettuce)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the beef, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss to coat the beef evenly.
- Lay a lettuce leaf shiny-side down on a clean work surface. Place a few slices of the marinated beef near the stem end of the leaf. Top with a few Thai basil leaves, sliced red bell pepper, and shredded carrots.
- Fold the sides of the lettuce leaf over the filling, then tightly roll up the leaf from the stem end to the tip, securing it with a toothpick if needed.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 12 rolls.
- Serve the Thai Basil Beef Rolls with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, such as a sweet chili sauce or a mixture of soy sauce and lime juice.
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
- Adjust the heat by adding or omitting the red pepper flakes.
