Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef (80/20)
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tbsp chili paste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients on your kitchen counter to streamline the cooking process.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula for even cooking (about 5-7 minutes).
- Drain excess fat from the skillet. Stir in minced garlic, soy sauce, sugar, and chili paste. Let simmer for about 5 minutes until fragrant and well combined.
- Place a spoonful of the beef mixture onto each basil leaf and roll tightly like burritos.
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it. Place rolls seam-side down in the pan and cook until golden on all sides (about 3 minutes per side).
