Moo Shu Beef Lettuce Cups

1 lb lean ground beef
1 c  yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp ginger root, fresh, minced
2 med garlic clove, minced
2 cup bok choy, thinly sliced
1 med sweet red pepper, thinly sliced
2 cup button mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
8 leaf bibb lettuce

Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and cook beef, onion, ginger and garlic over med-high heat for 5-7 minutes. Add bok choy, pepper, mushrooms and soy sauce; cook about 305 minutes. Spook about 1/2 c beef into each lettuce leaf. Yields 2 filled leaves per serving. Serve with extra soy sauce if desired.

George and I love it in the lettuce, but usually serve to the kids with tortillas.
This is a recipe from WeightWatchers.com.

  1. I've been using shaved steak for steak sandwiches and chili lately. I bet that would be a great substitute for the ground beef. Give it a more "authentic" texture.

  2. Is it packaged as shaved steak or do you request it from the butcher?

  3. We made these tonight! The whole family got in on the prep:) I couldn't find Bibb lettuce and substituted iceberg lettuce, was ok! I would add more to the sauve, more hearty! I'll keep you updated, when I retry it. Thanks for the suggestion!
