These lettuce wraps will remind you of your favorite Asian restaurant, but this much healthier version can be made at home in under 30 minutes. Drizzle grilled lean sirloin beef with a flavorful Asian sauce made from ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime, and a slight kick of red pepper flakes for a delicious weeknight dinner. To save time, look for toasted sesame seeds in the spice section at the supermarket. To toast your own, put the seeds in a small dry skillet and toast over medium heat, stirring constantly, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Serve this with cauliflower rice or as a one-dish meal.
