Allrecipes.com has this awesome recipe that I love.
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/71722/asian-lettuce-wraps/
Just in case they ever took this down (I'll be very sad) here's a copy of it:
A head of lettuce leaves (large leaves will do)
1 lb lean ground beef
1 tbsp cooking oil
1 large onion - chopped
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 tsp minced pickled ginger (I use ginger powder)
1 tbsp sesame oil
a dash of chile pepper sauce
I usually cook rice to go with this for the lettuce wrap.
- Rinse whole lettuce leaves and pat dry, being careful not tear them. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef and cooking oil in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease; transfer beef to a bowl. Cook and stir onion in the same skillet used for beef until slightly tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir hoisin sauce, garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, and chile pepper sauce into onions. Add 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 and pile meat mixture in the center.
