Ground Beef Asian Lettuce Wraps

Although Instagram voted "no" for this to be a food blog recipe and I only took one photo, I decided to share anyway because these Ground Beef Asian Lettuce Wraps were so delicious. The original recipe that I used is from The Cookie Rookie HERE for PF Changs Lettuce Wraps. I did change a few things including ground beef in place of chicken, removed the sriracha, used onion powder instead of diced onion, regular lettuce in place of butter lettuce, garlic powder instead of minced garlic, ground ginger in place of grated ginger, and no water chestnuts. 

Ingredients:
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tsp cornstarch
2 tsp sesame oil
1 pound ground beef (we have been using 93/7)
2 tbsp onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground ginger
green onions, to top
1 head of lettuce for serving

Directions:
Whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and cornstarch. Set aside. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sesame oil. Let sit a few minutes before adding the ground beef, saute and break apart about 5-7 minutes. Add the onion powder, garlic powder and ground ginger, move the heat to high and cook for a few more minutes. Add the sauce to the pan and stir until evenly coated - stir the sauce again before adding to the ground beef if needed. Add the green onions and remove from heat. Fill a piece of lettuce with the beef and enjoy. 

If you don't want lettuce wraps, you can top a piece of bread with the ground beef mixture or serve the beef mixture separately.
