Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook for 3-5 minutes, until translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring to ensure the garlic does not burn. Then, add the ground beef and break up any clumps. Cook for 8-10 minutes, until ground beef is cooked through.
- While the ground beef is cooking, mix together tomato sauce, tamari sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, ground mustard, salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Taste and add an additional tablespoon of brown sugar if you would like it sweeter.
- Once the ground beef is browned and cooked through, stir in the tomato sauce mixture. Cook for 5 or so minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is warm.
- Serve as lettuce wraps, topped with chopped green onions.
