Japanese Style Elk Lettuce Wraps

I love this dish for so many reasons. First off it is quick,15 to 20 minutes from fridge to plate. Secondly it is easy. Most of the ingredients are purchased precut and are ready to go right out of the bag. Also, you only need one pan which makes cleanup a breeze as well. Most importantly though, it is healthy. Packed with vegetables and lean elk/venison these lettuce wraps are a tasty healthy option for any night of the week.
