Method
Prepare Your Ingredients
Start by preparing all your ingredients. Dice the onion and slice the red pepper into strips. Mince the garlic, ensuring it’s finely chopped. If you are using regular peanut butter instead of peanut butter powder, measure out the amount and keep it ready. Also, adjust the chicken stock to 200ml to balance the consistency of the sauce. Having all your ingredients prepped will make the cooking process quick and smooth.
Cook the Vegetables
Heat the Frylight spray in a large pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red pepper strips. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes until they become soft and tender, stirring occasionally to avoid burning. The vegetables should release some moisture and turn a bit golden at the edges. This will help enhance their flavor and provide a nice base for the beef.
Brown the Beef
Once the vegetables are softened, add the minced garlic to the pan and stir it around for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the 500g of beef mince to the pan. Cook the beef thoroughly, breaking it apart with your spoon or spatula as it browns. Stir it often, making sure the beef is cooked all the way through and no longer pink. This will take about 7-10 minutes depending on the heat. Once the beef is browned, it’s time to add the flavorful ingredients.
Add the Flavor
Add the 1/2 tablespoon of curry powder to the beef and vegetable mixture, along with the 2 tablespoons of honey, 25ml of soy sauce, and 250ml of chicken stock. Stir everything together to make sure the beef and vegetables are evenly coated in the sauce. Next, stir in the peanut butter powder (or regular peanut butter). If you’re using regular peanut butter, it will melt into the sauce, thickening it and creating a creamy texture. Mix until fully combined and the peanut butter is dissolved into the sauce.
Simmer
Allow the mixture to simmer over low heat for around 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and to ensure the flavors are blending well. During this time, the sauce should thicken up, and the beef will soak in all the delicious flavors. If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer a bit longer. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more chicken stock to reach your desired consistency.
Wrap It Up
Once the beef mixture is done simmering and the sauce has thickened, it’s time to assemble your wraps. Spoon the teriyaki beef mixture into your chosen wraps. Be sure to fill them generously but don’t overstuff them, as this could make rolling difficult. Roll each wrap tightly, making sure the filling is secure inside. You can tuck in the edges as you go to keep everything neatly packed.
Serve and Enjoy
After wrapping them up, you can optionally garnish with fresh coriander for a burst of freshness and extra flavor. Serve your Teriyaki Beef Wraps with steamed rice on the side or a simple salad to balance out the flavors. For an extra kick, drizzle some sriracha sauce over the top or add a few slices of creamy avocado inside the wrap. Enjoy your flavorful, savory meal!

Notes
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan When cooking the beef, make sure the pan isn’t too crowded. If needed, cook the beef in batches so it browns evenly.
- Adjust the Sauce Consistency If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer a bit longer. If it gets too thick, you can add a little more chicken stock to loosen it up.
- Wrap Carefully When wrapping the beef mixture, be sure not to overfill the wrap, or it might be difficult to roll without spilling.
