Ingredients

Cooking spray

1 cup thinly sliced leek

1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic

1 pound lean ground sirloin

1 teaspoon red curry paste

1 cup tomato sauce

1/2 cup light coconut milk

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon grated lime rind

1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce

3 cups hot cooked short-grain rice

Iceberg lettuce wedges (optional)

Chopped cilantro

Chopped green onions (optional)

Directions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add leek; sauté 5 minutes. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add beef; cook 7 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring to crumble. Stir in curry paste and tomato sauce; cook until half of liquid evaporates (about 2 minutes). Add coconut milk, brown sugar, lime rind, lime juice, and Asian fish sauce. Cook 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Serve with the rice and lettuce wedges, if desired. Garnish with cilantro and green onions, if desired.

This is a great dish for an evening when you've defrosted a pound of beef with no plan of what to make. It's quick, easy and delicious.

Instead of lettuce wedges, maybe use whole iceberg leaves and make wraps out of this?

I use whatever lettuce I have on hand and put pieces in the plate. I don't think the "wrap' idea is good, since it would be VERY messy.
