Banh Mi Steak Lettuce Cups are a flavor packed, low carb meal that your family will love.
This recipe is inspired by the flavors of a Banh Mi – a French-Vietnamese sandwich typically served with picked daikon and carrot, cilantro and a protein on a fresh baguette. Today, I chose Heinen’s CARE certified steak as my protein.
When added to delicate butter lettuce, these flavors create the ultimate lettuce cup.
This recipe is great for a quick lunch, snack or even an appetizer.
