Barbecue sirloin wraps.
Barbecue sirloin wraps.William Meppem

Spice up your weekend eating with zesty barbecue beef wraps,cooked in the great outdoors or on the stove. It's a little play on bo ssam,a Korean dish served in a lettuce leaf. You could buy some kimchi to serve on the side or make your own. I also like it with roasted garlic. Make these wraps using any meat or seafood you like;it's so much fun eating with your hands and I love all the textures.
