Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Tip: Let the oil shimmer before adding onions.
  2. Add sliced onions and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Tip: Don’t rush—caramelization takes patience.
  3. Sprinkle brown sugar over onions, stir, and cook for another 5 minutes until golden. Tip: Deglaze with a splash of water if they stick.
  4. Push onions to one side, add ground beef to the skillet. Cook until no pink remains, about 6 minutes.
  5. Stir in soy sauce, mix everything together, and cook for 2 more minutes. Taste and salt as needed.
  6. Spoon the beef and onion mix into lettuce leaves. Serve immediately.

Feast on the contrast of sweet, savory beef and crisp lettuce. Try topping with a drizzle of sriracha mayo for extra kick.
