The inspiration for these lettuce wraps comes from one of my favorite Chinatown restaurants in Philadelphia called Vietnam. The charred steak slices were the centerpiece for a build-your-own lettuce wrap. I love the addition of coconut oil to provide another layer of flavor and healthy fats. The longer you can marinate the steak, the more flavorful each bite will be.
VARIATION TIP: This recipe can transform into a fun keto-friendly appetizer by slicing the steak into 1/2-inch pieces and threading them onto6 (4-inch) skewers. Forgo the lettuce, scallions, and baby carrots and simply serve the cooked marinated Thai kebabs
