Ten minutes and it’s a wrap! Tender leaves of lettuce are the receptacles for a deliciously spiced meaty filling of ground beef that browns up fast in a pan with ginger and garlic. All you need is ponzu and peanut butter to whip up a satay-style sauce that dresses a salad of finely sliced cucumbers and pre-cut carrot matchsticks. Our popular Mellow Sesame spice mix, featuring sugared sesame seeds, gives this ultra-quickie a light and easy Asian ambience.

Cook & coat the beef
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the ginger and garlic. Sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the beef*; season with ⅔ of the spices and pepper.

Mise en place
Meanwhile, thinly slice the cucumbers crosswise. Separate the lettuce leaves.
Make the salad
In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, remaining ponzu and spices, 1 ½ tbsp water (double for 4 portions) and pepper. Add the cucumbers and carrots; toss well.
