Sweet Thai Chili Steak Lettuce Wraps with Pickled Carrots & Spicy Mayo
We LOVE a great lettuce wrap. It’s crisp and crunchy, yet holds everything together so you can focus on the filling. Here, we tossed juicy bites of ponzu steak with sweet Thai chili sauce for extra zingy flavor. Tangy quick-pickled carrots and a creamy spicy mayo drizzle complete this wrap, for perfect bite after perfect bite. Start the clock—in just 20 minutes you’ll wrap this recipe right up (see what we did there?).

Servings: 2
Ingredients
  • Onion, 1
  • Garlic, 2 cloves
  • Carrots, 6 oz.
  • Lime, 1 oz.
  • Baby Lettuce
  • Diced Steak, 8 oz.
  • Ponzu Sauce
  • Soy Sauce
  • Sweet Thai Chili Sauce
  • Kosher Salt
  • Pepper
  • Cooking Oil
  • Sugar
  • Mayonnaise
Steps
  1. Wash and dry produce. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Peel and thinly slice garlic. Trim, peel, and grate carrots on the largest holes of a box grater. Halve lime. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; separate leaves.
  2. Pat steak dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak, onion, and garlic to pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is browned and steak is cooked to desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine carrots, juice from whole lime, 1 TBSP water, ½ tsp sugar, and a pinch of salt (use juice from both limes, 1 TBSP water, and 1 tsp sugar for 4 servings). Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave until carrots are tender, 1 minute; set aside.
  4. Once steak reaches desired doneness, add ponzu and soy sauce to pan; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Remove from heat; stir in half the chili sauce (you’ll use the rest later). Season with salt and pepper.
  5. In a small bowl, combine remaining chili sauce and 2 TBSP mayonnaise (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.
  6. Divide lettuce leaves between plates; fill with steak mixture. Using a slotted spoon, top with as many pickled carrots as you like. Drizzle with as much spicy mayo as you like. Serve lettuce wraps with any remaining pickled carrots and any remaining spicy mayo on the side.
  7. Steak is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
