Bulgogi Steak Lettuce Wraps
with Pickled Carrots, Scallion Rice & Creamy Chili Sauce
- Sesame
- Soy
- Wheat
- Eggs
The star of our spin on Korean BBQ is juicy sirloin steak sizzled to savory-sweet perfection in bulgogi sauce (one of our favorite ways to pack in that umami-rich sesame-soy flavor we love so much) and sprinkled with crisp, nutty sesame seeds. You’ll serve it in crisp lettuce cups along with fluffy rice, quick-pickled carrots, and tangy chili sauce-spiked mayonnaise that adds just the right amount of heat for the perfect choose-your-own-adventure of a meal. Best of all, this dish was made for sharing—make your lettuce wraps just the way you like ‘em (it’s all about customization!).

Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Trim scallions; cut whites into 1-inch pieces and thinly slice greens. Trim root end from lettuce; separate leaves.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine carrots, vinegar, 1 tsp water, 1 tsp sugar, a big pinch of salt, and pepper (for 4 servings, use a medium bowl, 2 tsp water, and 2 tsp sugar). Cover with plastic wrap; microwave for 30 seconds. Set aside to pickle, stirring occasionally.
Pat steak* dry with paper towels; thinly slice crosswise into strips. Season all over with salt and pepper.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and scallion whites; cook, stirring occasionally, until scallions are charred and steak is cooked to desired doneness, 3-6 minutes.
In the last minute of cooking, stir in half the bulgogi sauce (all for 4 servings). Cook until slightly thickened.
Meanwhile, massage rice in package to break up grains; partially open package.
Add a drizzle of oil to package; microwave until rice is warmed through, 90 seconds. TIP: Microwave times may vary. Be careful when handling and opening the pouch.
In a second small bowl, combine chili sauce and mayonnaise. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
Fan lettuce leaves out on a plate or board. Place rice, steak, pickled carrots (draining first), and creamy chili sauce in separate serving bowls. Sprinkle steak with sesame seeds and garnish rice with scallion greens. Serve family style.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Many enjoyed the tasty bulgogi sauce and flavorful combination. Some found the chili mayo unnecessary; others loved adding Sriracha for extra kick 🌶️.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, though slicing the steak thinly can be time-consuming. Consider using pre-shaved beef for faster prep.
- Suggestions: Try using ground beef instead of steak for a different texture. Cook fresh rice rather than using microwavable for better texture and taste.
- Portions: Some felt it needed more meat or additional vegetables to make a full meal. Consider doubling the recipe for heartier appetites.
- Texture: A few found the steak cuts tough or chewy. Slice meat very thinly against the grain for more tender bites.
Reviews from our home cooks
Loved how quick and easy it was. Very delicious too!
Easy, fast, delicious. Would also be great as an appetizer for a small dinner party.
So easy to make, but yet so good! Lite but filling!
Steak cuts were very dissimilar, made the cooking time a bit off. Otherwise great dish. Cutting the steak into strips saves it
Tasty but if a person didn't have a really sharp knife would be hard to slice. Even with my extremely sharp knife had pieces semi difficult to slice per instructed
Very yummy! I feel like it would've worked a little better with ground beef but it tasted so good
This was a delicious dinner. We loved the beef and sauce and pickled carrots. We weren't fans of the rice. It had a strange aftertaste.
My sister and I loved it. We got 4 servings out of it
Loved it! Everything was tasty and easy, love microwavable rice!
This is one of the few that we haven't loved. We had it as a snack one afternoon. I feel like it could use some style of side vegetable to really be a full meal. It did have a great taste to it!
