-
16 Boston Bibb or butter lettuce leaves
-
1 pound lean ground beef
-
1 tablespoon cooking oil
-
1 large onion, chopped
-
¼ cup hoisin sauce
-
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
-
1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

1 dash Asian chile pepper sauce, or to taste (Optional)
-
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and finely chopped

1 bunch green onions, chopped

2 teaspoons Asian (dark) sesame oil
Directions
-
Rinse whole lettuce leaves and pat dry, being careful not to tear them; set aside.
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease; transfer beef to a bowl. Add onion to the same skillet; cook and stir until just tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
-
Stir in hoisin sauce, garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, and chile pepper sauce until well combined. Add water chestnuts, green onions, sesame oil, and cooked beef; cook and stir until the onions just begin to wilt, about 2 minutes.
-
Arrange lettuce leaves around the outer edge of a large serving platter; spoon beef mixture in the center.
