To make savory Steak & Sriracha Lettuce Wraps, you need simple and fresh ingredients. Here’s what you will need: - 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced - 2 tablespoons soy sauce - 1 tablespoon sesame oil - 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce - 1 tablespoon brown sugar - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 teaspoon ginger powder - 1 head of butter lettuce or romaine - 1 cup shredded carrots - 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced - 1/4 cup chopped green onions - Sesame seeds for garnish - Lime wedges for serving This mix of flavors makes the wraps tasty and fun to eat. You can adjust the Sriracha to control the heat. The fresh veggies add crunch, while the steak brings a hearty bite. I love the way this recipe comes together to create a meal that feels special yet easy to make. For the full recipe, check out the details above. To start, I combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha, brown sugar, garlic powder, and ginger powder in a bowl. I whisk these ingredients together until smooth. This marinade adds great flavor to the steak. Next, I coat the flank steak in the marinade. It’s important to cover all sides well. I then cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerating for 30 minutes to 2 hours helps the steak absorb the flavors. I heat my skillet or grill pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, I add the marinated steak in a single layer. Cooking it for 3-4 minutes on each side gives it a nice sear. After cooking, I let the steak rest for a few minutes. Resting helps keep the juices inside. While the steak rests, I arrange the lettuce leaves on a serving platter. I like to use butter lettuce or romaine. The large leaves make perfect little wraps. After resting, I slice the steak into bite-sized pieces. I take a lettuce leaf and place some steak in the center. Then, I add shredded carrots, slices of red bell pepper, and chopped green onions. For an extra kick, I drizzle some of the leftover marinade over the top. Finally, I top the wraps with sesame seeds for a nice crunch. I serve them with lime wedges on the side. A squeeze of lime adds a fresh touch. You can find the full recipe [here](#). For the best flavor, marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes. If you have time, aim for 2 hours. This longer time helps the flavors soak in. If you like it spicy, adjust the Sriracha. Start with 1 tablespoon for mild heat. Add more Sriracha to increase the spice level. The best way to cook flank steak is on a grill or in a hot skillet. Heat your skillet to medium-high. This high heat gives a nice sear. Cook the steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side. This will give you a tender steak. To check doneness, use a meat thermometer. Aim for 130°F for medium-rare. Make your wraps look great. Use large lettuce leaves for easy wrapping. Lay them out on a platter. Arrange them in a circle for a fun look. Place the lime wedges around the wraps. This adds color and makes it inviting. Enjoy the eye-catching display as much as the taste! {{image_4}} You can switch up the protein in these wraps. If you want a lighter touch, use chicken breast. Just slice it thinly like the flank steak. For a vegetarian option, try tofu. Press the tofu to remove water, then cut it into pieces. Adjust the marinade for these proteins by using the same amounts of soy sauce and sesame oil. Feel free to add extra spices to suit your taste. Feel free to get creative with your veggies. You can add sliced cucumbers, shredded cabbage, or even avocado. Each one brings a new taste and crunch. Don't be shy about trying different sauces too. A peanut sauce or sweet chili sauce can add a fun twist. Just remember to drizzle lightly so it doesn't overpower the other flavors. If you need a gluten-free version, look for gluten-free soy sauce. It works just as well as regular soy sauce in the marinade. For wraps, use lettuce like butter or romaine. You can also try rice paper for a different texture. Topping with fresh herbs like cilantro can add a burst of flavor, too. To keep your Steak & Sriracha Lettuce Wraps fresh, cool them quickly after serving. Place any leftover wraps in a shallow container. This helps them cool evenly. Use airtight containers to keep moisture in and air out. It’s best to eat leftovers within two days for optimal taste. When reheating steak, use a skillet over low heat. This keeps the meat juicy. You can also microwave the steak for quick heating, but do it in short bursts. Wraps can lose their crunch, so eat them fresh. If needed, prepare new lettuce leaves for the best experience. You can freeze marinated steak before cooking. Place it in a freezer bag, removing as much air as possible. When you’re ready, take it out and thaw overnight in the fridge. After thawing, cook it as per the Full Recipe. Enjoy a quick meal without loss of flavor! To make your wraps spicier, you can add more Sriracha. Start with a little extra and taste. You can also mix in chili flakes for more heat. If you want a smoky flavor, try chipotle sauce. Always adjust to fit your heat level. Yes, you can use different lettuce types! Butter lettuce and romaine are great choices. They hold fillings well and add a nice crunch. You could also use green leaf or iceberg lettuce for a lighter wrap. Choose what you like best. Serve these wraps with fresh veggies or rice. Sliced cucumbers and radishes make a nice side. You can also pair them with a tangy dip like peanut sauce or a light soy sauce. These sides add flavor and texture. For the best flavor, marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes. You can go up to 2 hours for a deeper taste. Avoid marinating for too long, as the meat might become too soft. Just stick to that time frame for great results. If you lack Sriracha, use another hot sauce. Try a chili garlic sauce or even a homemade chili paste. You can also mix hot sauce with a bit of honey for sweetness. Always taste and adjust to find the right heat for your wraps. For the complete recipe, check the Full Recipe section above.

Ingredients
  

1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust according to your heat preference)

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ginger powder

1 head of butter lettuce or romaine, leaves gently separated

1 cup shredded carrots

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1/4 cup chopped green onions

Sesame seeds for garnish

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 2 tablespoons of sriracha sauce, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of ginger powder. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and smooth.

    Marinate the Steak: Add the thinly sliced flank steak to the marinade, ensuring that each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the steak marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor infusion.

      Cook the Steak: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated steak in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness. Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and allow it to rest for a few minutes to retain its juices.

        Prepare the Lettuce Wraps: While the steak is resting, arrange the lettuce leaves on a serving platter. This will be your wrap base, so select the largest leaves for easy handling.

          Slice the Steak: After resting, slice the cooked steak into bite-sized pieces.

            Assemble the Wraps: Take a lettuce leaf and place a few pieces of the sliced steak in the center. Add a generous amount of shredded carrots, some slices of red bell pepper, and a sprinkle of chopped green onions for color and flavor.

              Add Flavor Boost: Drizzle a little of the leftover marinade over the filled lettuce wraps for an additional flavor boost. This step adds a nice depth of taste while enhancing the experience of the wraps.

                Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing the wraps with sesame seeds for a nice crunch. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a zesty squeeze to elevate the flavors further.
