Instructions

For the beef

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the ginger, garlic, and beef together, while stirring occasionally, until the meat is brown and no longer pink. Drain and discard the fat from the pan.

For the sauce

  1. Blend together the soy sauce, peanut butter, vinegar, and honey using a countertop or hand immersion blender until smooth. Thin the sauce out with a few drops of water if desired (or after refrigeration).

For the wraps and assembly
