At the request of Rich, I'm revisiting one of my favorite dishes that I have created over the past couple of months. These lettuce wraps are a welcomed break after all the heavy foods and sweets I have been consuming at holiday functions. I'm making a few changes to simplify and lighten up this meal, but still keeping all the bold flavors. Plus, I have pictures this time!

In a bowl, combine the ginger, garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, chili oil, sugar, and scallions. Season with salt and pepper. Marinate the steaks for up to 30 minutes. Heat grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook steaks until medium-rare. Set aside to rest. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper, grill until soft. When ready to serve, slice steak and serve with lettuce leaves, rice, mushrooms, scallions, chili sauce and sesame seeds. Assemble, and enjoy!
