Thai Beef Lettuce Wraps with Peanut Dipping Sauce

Thai food is one of my favorite cuisines – both for dining out and cooking at home. Salt, sour, sweet and spicy, Thai recipes are always perfectly balanced and full of flavor.

Asian Beef Lettuce Wraps with Peanut Sauce Recipe


To help my friends at RXBar celebrate the launch of their brand new multi-serve nut butter containers, I decided to create a quick and easy 20 minute dinner recipe: Thai Beef Lettuce Wraps with Peanut Dipping Sauce.

RXBar Multi Serve Containers

For this particular recipe I decided to use the traditional Peanut Butter but you can now get ALL of your favorite flavors in the multi-serve container including Vanilla Almond Butter, Honey Cinnamon Peanut Butter, Maple Almond Butter, Chocolate Peanut Butter and Almond Butter.

What’s great about every flavor is that they are made with simple ingredients you can pronounce and provide 9 grams of protein per serving.

Traditionally when making a Thai peanut dipping sauce I would have to add brown sugar for sweetness but using the RXBar peanut butter naturally sweetened with dates eliminates the need for any added sugar.

Grilled Flank Steak

Flank steak is marinaded with lime juice, garlic, fish sauce and other basic Asian pantry staples before being grilled to a perfect, medium rare temperature.

Liz Slicing Flank Steak

As always, be sure to let your meat rest at least ten minutes before slicing so that the natural juices can redistribute.

To serve, I love creating a large platter filled with lettuce, slices of steak, the peanut dipping sauce and plenty of toppings such as carrots, onions, lime wedges and jalapeño slices.
