Ingredients
- Tortillas or wraps (4 large)
- Sesame seeds (2 tablespoons, toasted)
- Green onions (2, thinly sliced)
- Cucumber (1, julienned)
- Carrots (1, julienned)
- Lettuce leaves (4 large, preferably romaine or iceberg)
- Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
- Brown sugar (1 tablespoon)

- Soy sauce (1/4 cup)

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and brown sugar to create the marinade.
- Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavor.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the marinated beef to the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes or until the beef is cooked through and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
- To assemble the wraps, lay a lettuce leaf on top of each tortilla or wrap.
- Layer the cooked beef over the lettuce, then add the julienned carrots, sliced cucumber, and green onions.
- Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the top and drizzle with additional marinade if desired.
- Roll the wrap tightly, securing with toothpicks if necessary to hold everything in place.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients and serve immediately for the best taste.
