I have to say ground beef is my favourite and I think you can see why.

Welcome back to Next Level Kitchen where the mentors of Next Level Chef are giving you the most extraordinary tricks, tips and amazing recipes to cook at home.

Now come on you know by now I love an absolute amazing challenge so today I'm challenging myself to make a dish using the humble ground beef.

Honestly it's a dish that's perfect for a party especially at home.

Now I'm making these Asian inspired beef lettuce cups.

I make them at home all the time especially with the girls.

They're easy to do but it's a showstopper.

Now first thing get that pan smoking hot because we got ground beef and I just want you to open that up a little bit and season it first before it goes into the pan.

Okay I'm gonna put a touch of sesame seed oil over the beef just a touch and then from there let that sit in.

You'll be surprised just literally 400 grams of this how far it will go.

Right touch of oil in first and then just start dropping this ground beef in into little bits.

Now I want it hot because I want it crispy okay.

Good and then start breaking that up okay.

Now you can do this with ground turkey, ground pork, ground lamb.

In fact the combination of beef and pork for me is delicious.

It's really important to keep the heat in the pan.

You can see how crispy that beef's getting.

Spend three or four minutes getting this bit right and honestly it transforms the lettuce cups.

Now let's go up a little bit with the heat.

Depending how spicy you want it, build those flavours.

The girls like spice but not overindulgence.

Once you've got the colour on that beef then we start building the flavour.

Teaspoon of minced garlic into the centre.

I'm going to grate the ginger in there because I want the juice in there as well.

Okay and look the sort of grating the ginger just purees it and it sort of cooks quicker and it really does help lift that flavour up.

The spiciness from that ginger is delicious.

Get a little teaspoon and just scrape that down.

It's really important that you saute that ground beef not boiling it because the difference is night and day.

The beef's getting really nice and crispy.  Now a little teaspoon of dark soy.

Right and then again build out that flavour with a little drizzle of the sesame oil.

And it's almost like a sort of chilli beef because it's crispy.

I'm gonna break that up and now once that's cooked turn the gas off and just let it sit.

And literally just slice them on the bias.

And what this does it gives that little level of freshness.

Scallions are from the leek family but it's a really nice light delicious onion flavour.

Now I'm starting to build those amazing flavours right.

Absorbing in amongst all that amazing flavour.

And this is just almost like a lovely garnish.
