Step-by-Step
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Stir in the soy sauce, gochujang, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sliced green onions.
To serve, spoon the beef mixture into the lettuce leaves and enjoy immediately.
