# Chef's Tips:
01 -
- You get restaurant-quality beef wraps in your kitchen without the fuss or the wait.
- It comes together in under 30 minutes, which means lunch doesn't have to be boring or boring.
- High protein and packed with vegetables means you feel genuinely full and satisfied, not just temporarily stuffed.
02 -
- Don't slice the beef too thick or it'll be tough; too thin and it'll dry out in seconds, so aim for about the thickness of a coin.
- Warm beef in cool lettuce is the entire magic of this dish, so have your lettuce ready before you start cooking.
03 -
- Pat your lettuce leaves dry with paper towels after rinsing; any excess water will dilute the sauce and make everything soggy.
- If you're making these for a crowd, cook the beef, make the sauce, and prep all your vegetables ahead of time, then let people assemble their own wraps so they get exactly what they want.
