Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 2 cups shredded leftover cooked beef
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1 cup uncooked couscous
- Salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 8 Bibb or romaine lettuce leaves
Directions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the sesame oil and heat. Add the cabbage and carrots and saute for 2 minutes. Add the beef and cook, stirring, until the beef is heated and the cabbage begins to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add the hoisin sauce and soy sauce and cook 5 minutes, until mixture heats through and cabbage wilts, stirring frequently.
Meanwhile, bring the water to a boil. Place the couscous in a heatproof bowl and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and curry powder. Pour the boiling water over the couscous and cover for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Spoon some of the beef into the center of each lettuce leaf and roll up. Serve with the couscous.

What a fantastic recipe! I adjusted a few things. Used chicken thighs sauted with fresh Rosemary, Ginger, red onion, garlic, red chile flakes, salt & pepper. Then added the soy sause & hoisen & cabbage & carrots. I had no curry power for the couscous, so I used tumeric & fresh parsley with a dab of unsalted butter to finish it off. My boyfriend (who is a very picky eater went back for thirds!! & this morning the first thing he said to me was how great dinner was last night: This one is a Keeper!!

My family went CRAZY over this dish!! The wraps were DELICIOUS and the couscous was yummy! We used pearl couscous because we prefer the texture and I cooked in chicken broth, which adds tons of flavor. The whole dish was yummy-- My 8-year-old son just asked me today when we can have it again. BIG HIT!!

This is a very good recipe for leftover beef and is a 15 minute meal. Definitely one of our new favorites! We doubled the batch and had plenty for 4 people.
