Cannabis-Infused Korean BBQ Beef Lettuce Wraps
Savory caramelized Korean-style beef tucked into crisp lettuce leaves with quick pickles and warm garlic rice. The infusion rides inside a fragrant sesame-garlic oil that coats the beef as it cooks, creating a deep umami flavor while keeping dosage controlled and consistent.
