Spicy Beef Lettuce Wraps

3 T oyster sauce - I only had fish sauce
2T dry sherry
1/4 c water
1 lb ground beef
1 red pepper - seeded & diced
5 scallions - sliced thin
1 T chili garlic sauce - I used sriracha
1 T fresh grated ginger
1 head bibb lettuce - I also used flour tortillas, as they are easier to eat.....
1/4 c chopped peanuts - forgot them........

whisk oyster sauce, sherry and water in bowl.

cook beef over med-high heat until just cooked.  drain - reserve 2 T fat.

heat fat in empty skillet.  Add pepper and scallions and cook until soft.  Clear center of skillet and add ginger and chili sauce - cook until fragrant.  Return beef to skillet with oyster sauce mix and cook until thick - about a minute.  Spook mix into lettuce and sprinkle with peanuts.


Nancy's Take:  I made these for friends - all of whom loved them - even the kids.
