Description

These Ginger-Carrot Beef Rolls are a delightful fusion of flavors and textures, featuring tender beef wrapped around crunchy carrots and a hint of ginger. Each bite bursts with savory goodness, complemented by the sweetness of cranberries and the richness of walnuts, creating a truly irresistible dish.

Ingredients

Beef: 1 pound ground beef, preferably 80/20 for juiciness
Vegetables: 1 cup grated carrots, 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
Filling: 1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped, 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Seasoning: 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste
Wrap: 8 large lettuce leaves (for wrapping)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, grated carrots, minced ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Fold in the chopped cranberries and walnuts into the beef mixture.
Take a lettuce leaf and place a generous amount of the beef mixture at the base. Roll tightly, tucking in the sides as you go.
Place the rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and the rolls are crispy on the outside.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Make-ahead: You can prepare the beef mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
Storage: Leftover rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Substitutions: Ground turkey or chicken can be used instead of beef for a lighter option.
