Korean Steak and Lettuce Wraps recipe

Ingredients :

1. 1 pound flank steak
2. 1/4 teaspoon salt
3. 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4. 1 cup diced peeled cucumber
5. 6 cherry tomatoes, halved
6. 1/4 cup thinly sliced shallots
7. 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
8. 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil
9. 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
10. 1 tablespoon brown sugar
11. 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
12. 2 tablespoons lime juice
13. 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
14. 1 head Bibb lettuce, leaves separated

Directions :

1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
2. Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper. Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the steak for 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut across the grain into thin slices.
3. Combine the sliced steak, cucumber, tomatoes, shallot, mint, basil and cilantro in a large bowl. Mix sugar, soy sauce, lime juice and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Drizzle over the steak mixture; toss well to coat. To serve, spoon a portion of the steak mixture into a lettuce leaf and roll into a 'wrap.'
