Beef Rib Lettuce Wraps

Soft and tender flavourful beef enveloped in fresh lettuce leaves – these beef rib lettuce wraps make an easy and tasty dinner!

Sometimes trying to sort out dinner can be such an ordeal. Not knowing what to make, not having the time to make something, trying to figure out what the whole family will enjoy. Having recipes that are easy and quick make a huge difference when trying to feed the family.

These beef rib lettuce wraps are always welcome around here. For a quick dinner, I use beef finger meat and toss it into the Instant Pot or pressure cooker. Beef finger meat is the meat between the bones of beef ribs. It can be a little tough so using pressure to cook the meat is the way to go, to get some tender fall apart beef.

I use a simple marinade using ingredients that I normally have on hand – soy sauce, sugar, garlic and sesame oil. Jalapenos if you want a little spice. An overnight marinade is ideal but if you just have an hour or two, that works too.

The ribs are cooked in the Instant Pot for 25 minutes and then you can prepare the rest of the ingredients while you let the pressure naturally release. Chop some cilantro and green onions to toss into the shredded meat once it’s ready. Lettuce makes the perfect vessel for scooping up the rib meat, adding a cool freshness with every bite. You can use hoisin or gochujang sauce – I sure do like things saucy.

This dish is always a hit and is requested often. I have to make sure I make lots because many nibbles of the meat are enjoyed before it even makes it to the table.
