Method

1

Mince garlic and ginger. Whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl.

2

Wash and gently separate lettuce leaves; pat dry and place on a serving plate. Dice cucumber, slice green onion, and pick cilantro leaves into small bowls.

4

Add minced garlic and ginger; stir constantly for 1 minute until fragrant.

5

Pour the soy mixture over the beef and stir to coat evenly. Simmer for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning.
