This new appetizer is a favorite of mine. It was created by accident one day (as many good recipes are) when I had some leftovers to play with. If you’re looking for a fresh and simple weekend bite or a well-balanced light meal idea, these beef lettuce cups are the perfect marriage of nutrition, texture, and flavor. Make sure you use high quality and well-sourced grass-fed beef to reap the health benefits! Drizzle some pesto, this creamy sriracha dressing, or your favorite dressing on top to take these beef cups to the next level! YUM.
