Teriyaki Beef

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup thick teriyaki sauce or glaze
2 carrots, shredded
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 T grated fresh ginger
2 sliced green onions
2 T lemon juice
Romaine or iceberg lettuce

Directions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and brown, breaking up beef into small pieces, for about 7 minutes, or until no longer pink. Add milk and teriyaki sauce; bring to a simmer, stirring. Stir in carrots, garlic, and ginger. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, for about 10 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Stir in onions and lemon juice. Serve with rice atop lettuce leaves.

Notes

I would add even more ginger and garlic. Might mix in sliced snow peas next time. The milk doesn't seem to add much - maybe reduce or eliminate? Can be made ahead and reheated.
