With school back in full swing (and my firstborn off to college, sniff), this is one of my favorite times of the year.
Late summer/early fall means back-to-school supplies (No. I’m not going back to school. Yes, I’ll NEVER get tired of buying back-to-school supplies), getting my house organized, and easing into a healthier routine.
Thatโs where these Easy Roast Beef Lettuce Wraps come into play...
Iโve stuffed romaine lettuce with ready-to-eat organic grass-fed roast beef, Honeycrisp apples, creamy horseradish-spiked mayo, and fresh green herbs for the most delicious, light, yet satisfying low-carb and gluten-free meal or snack.
Need I say more???

3 Reasons You Should Make These Roast Beef Lettuce Wraps ASAP!
- Nutrient Dense. Roast beef is a convenientย proteinย source and provides vital nutrients for your body, including vitamin B12, iron, and zinc. In addition, because most prepared meats are pre-cooked, they’re an easy, on-the-go, nutrient-dense food.

- Easy to Make. Once you gather all your ingredients, these Roast Beef Lettuce Wraps are SO easy to make. Got 10 minutes? Make them ASAP!
What is considered processed meats?
You may not know this, but roast beef is considered processed meat. While processed meats can get a bad wrap, did you know that โprocessedโ simply means โpreparedโ?
Like all meats prepared at home, processed meats are prepared at a plant โ simply on a larger scale. This preparation can include cutting, chopping, grinding, seasoning, and cooking.
All meat must first be prepared to be safe to eat. The only difference between processing at home or in a plant is that it occurs on a larger scale in a plant.
Roast Beef Ingredients
The roast beef I used in these Beef Lettuce Wraps contains organic grass-fed beef, water, salt, and black pepper. That’s it!

Bottom Line: If you’ve ever cooked roast beef at home, you’ve prepared processed meat!
Roast Beef Lettuce Wraps-Tips & Ingredient Swaps
- Roast Beef. The roast beef I used in these Beef Lettuce Wraps contains organic grass-fed beef, water, salt, and black pepper. That’s it!
- Lettuce. Romaine lettuce works well, but you could try butter, red leaf, or even collard greens to make your roast beef lettuce wraps.
- Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, and horseradish. This adds flavor, extra protein, and probiotics. To make them dairy-free,ย simply omit the Greek yogurt and use extra vegan mayo, or use a dairy-free unsweetened yogurt.
- Apples, apples, apples! I’m a big-time Honeycrisp fan but feel free to swap them out with your favorite apple variety. There are so many delicious ones to choose from!
- Fresh herbs! These roast Beef Lettuce Wraps are tasty with thyme and dill, but you could try others: fresh oregano, basil, cilantro, and more.
