Today, I’m participating in the Over-Used Recipe Swap over at Simply Modern Mom! My tried and true recipe is Moo Shoo Beef Lettuce Cups. It’s a Weight Watchers recipe that we probably eat once a week. I don’t even have to look it up anymore. It’s SO good and only 4 points per serving!. It’s easy to make on a busy weeknight and it’s also perfect when you’ve got friends over. In fact, I think we’re having this tonight!
Moo Shu Beef Lettuce Cups
Ingredients:
1 spray cooking spray
1 pound uncooked lean ground beef (with 7% fat)
1 cup onion, yellow, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp ginger root, fresh, minced
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
2 cups bok choy, thinly sliced
1 medium sweet red pepper, thinly sliced
2 cups button mushrooms, thinly sliced (about 10 mushrooms)
2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
8 leaf bibb lettuce (I usually use butter lettuce because it’s easier for me to find.)
Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set pan over medium-high heat. Add beef, onion, ginger and garlic; cook until beef is browned and onion is soft, breaking up meat as it cooks, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Add bok choy, pepper, mushrooms and soy sauce; cook, stirring occasionally, until bok choy is wilted and pepper is tender-crisp, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Spoon about 1/2 cup of beef mixture into each lettuce leaf. Yields 2 filled leaves per serving. Serve with extra soy sauce if desired.
That’s it! So easy and SO good! Enjoy!
Yum – thanks for sharing. Going to give this one a try.
That does sound good but I am scared of bok choy…..I don’t know what it is I am sure my husband would be giving me funny looks if I asked him to eat it. I may have to make this for myself one night and make him fend for himself.
Mmmm. This one sounds good! I think we’ll try it this week
I’m stopping over from the Over-Used Recipe Swap at Simply Modern Mom’s.
This sounds quick and easy, I’ve never used lettuce to serve like this before, it sounds like a great idea.

Love this recipe! I made it tonight and it was perfect for my household…I’m trying to eat healthy (ie weight watchers) and my husband is doing the low carb diet! Thanks for posting it!
This sounds so yummy. I love bok choy and am excited to try it in a new recipe. It’s on our menu for dinner tonight!

Bok Choy is really good, it is a dark green leafy veggie.
