Gordon Ramsay Beef Lettuce Wraps Recipe

You know the newest trend is to ‘lettuce wrap’ everything. Going along with the trend, here is the recipe for Gordon Ramsay’s beef lettuce wrap. The wrap is made by filling the lettuce leaves with a crispy mince with a delicious dressing drizzled over it (pardon the alliteration).

I suggest you use fresh, crunchy lettuce for the wraps. This makes for a great wrap. Also, you might probably know this, but try using a big leaf. This will also help you to wrap it better with generous fillings. Even though all of this is common knowledge, I thought I would give you a quick revision.

To make Gordon Ramsay’s beef lettuce wraps, cook minced beef and pork together in a pan until crisp. Then, cook ginger, garlic, and chili in oil. Add the cooked mince to it. Also, add fish oil, chives, lemon juice, and lemon zest, and stir. Then, make the dressing. Spoon some of the mince mixture onto a lettuce leaf, drizzle with dressing, and serve.

Expert Tips That I Recommend

• Choose a moderately lean beef-and-pork mixture. A little fat helps keep the filling juicy and adds flavor, while too much fat can make the lettuce wrap greasy.
• Spread the meat out in the pan rather than stirring it continuously. Let it rest between stirs so that it develops brown, crispy edges.
• Always drain the mince well. This helps keep the filling crisp and prevents lettuce from becoming oily.
• Briefly fry chili, garlic, and ginger in oil before adding the meat to the pan. This adds depth and aroma without being burnt.
• To enjoy extra-crisp lettuce, chill the dried leaves before using.

Recipe Variation for Different Diets 

• Gluten-Free Version: Double-check whether fish sauce and sugar are gluten-free. Add tamari instead of soy sauce.
• Keto Version: Add monk fruit sweetener instead of brown sugar, and coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Swap spring onion instead of onion. Also add fish sauce in moderation.

Storing And Reheating This Recipe 

Storing

• Allow the beef to cool completely. Then place it in an airtight container and refrigerate it. Consume within 3-4 days. Keep the temperature at 4°C or below.
• You can also store it longer by freezing individual portions in a freezer-safe bag for 2-3 months.

Reheating 

• Oven: First, preheat the oven to 350°F. Then add the beef to an oven-safe dish and cover it lightly with foil. Now heat for 15-20 minutes. Don’t leave it uncovered for too long, as it can affect the beef’s texture and make it tough.
• Stovetop: Add the beef and broth to a skillet. Then gently warm for 5-8 minutes. But keep checking it while it is covered, and keep tossing it. Heat until it reaches 74 °C.

What To Serve With This Recipe

The Gordon Ramsay Beef Lettuce Wraps pair well with carrot and cabbage slaw or edamame. You can serve it with fresh mango salad or steamed jasmine rice, too. Well, add some variety with lime wedges or crushed peanuts to keep it filling and satisfying. You can also add various other sides of your choice.
