3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
2 green onions, sliced
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
TSP sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear ground beef until browned and nearly cooked, 2-3 minutes.
Add soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and ½ tsp salt, stirring until beef is fully cooked (6-8 minutes total).
Stir in sesame oil and diced cucumbers, sauté 2-3 minutes to wilt slightly.
Warm lettuce leaves in microwave for 10 seconds to soften.
