Why This Recipe Works

With just 2.3g net carbs per serving, it’s a guilt-free indulgence that fits perfectly into any low-carb lifestyle. Plus, we’ve added a twist with low-carb kimchi mayo, which brings a spicy kick without the carb overload.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb beef sirloin (454g), thinly sliced
- ¼ cup low-carb soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 cups lettuce leaves

- 2 tablespoons mayo
- ¼ cup pickled veggies (carrots, radishes)
Instructions:
- Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sweetener, garlic, and ginger. Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade, and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the marinated beef for about 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Prepare the Kimchi Mayo: In a small bowl, mix the mayo and chopped kimchi together for a spicy, flavorful sauce.
- Assemble the Wraps: Take a large lettuce leaf and layer it with a few slices of beef, a spoonful of pickled veggies, and a drizzle of kimchi mayo. Wrap it up and enjoy the explosion of flavors!
