Time

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes

Yield: 4 servings
Method: Skillet
Cuisine: Asian-inspired
Category: Main Course

Ingredients

  • 1 pound (450 g) ground beef (80/20 or leaner)

  • 1 cup diced bell pepper (any color)

  • 1 cup shredded carrots

  • ¼ cup chopped green onions

  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced

  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (preferably low sodium)

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

  • 1 head lettuce (butter or iceberg), leaves separated and washed

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef.
    Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and break it apart with a spatula. Cook until no longer pink and nicely browned (6–8 minutes). Drain excess grease if needed.

  2. Sauté the aromatics.
    Push the beef to one side of the skillet (or temporarily remove it). Add the garlic and grated ginger. Cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

  3. Add the vegetables.
    Stir in the diced bell pepper and shredded carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp (4–5 minutes).

  4. Combine and season.
    Return the beef to the skillet if removed. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for another 2–3 minutes to allow the flavors to combine. Adjust seasoning if needed.

  5. Serve.
    Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl. Spoon several tablespoons into each lettuce leaf, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve immediately.

Notes & Variations

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.

  • Ground turkey or chicken can be used for a lighter option.

  • For heat, add red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha.

  • The filling keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheats easily in a skillet.

This meatball recipe and others is one that we have all the time at my house. My kids love it! My mom always used to make it for me when I was a little girl as well.

Not only is this meatball recipe easy to make, but they don’t take very much time at all! I remember that that is one of the reasons that my mom always used to make it for us when we were little kids, and I am so happy that my kids love it just as much as I did.

This version is slightly different than the one that my mom used to make, because I have decided to add melted mozzarella cheese on top, and to use lean bison meat. Bison meat, in my opinion, tastes even better than normal ground beef and it is healthier too!

The traditional way to serve meatballs in Mexico is with white rice, fresh salsa, and diced potatoes. However, here in the United States, I have learned to use meatballs in many different ways.

These are so easy to make. In only a few minutes, with this meatball recipe, you can have dozens of meatballs prepared and ready to bake. You can also freeze them if you make too many so that you can heat them and eat them another day.

One of the reasons I decided to use ground bison meat for this meatball recipe, is because it has less fat and more protein that regular beef. This recipe also omits certain ingredients that tend to appear in other meatball recipes, such as eggs and breadcrumbs.

I love to add fresh herbs like oregano, thyme, and basis so that they are more healthy, but still flavorful. This always helps to bring out the naturally delicious flavor of bison as well.
