- Pour in 1/2 cup of beef broth and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Stir to mix all the ingredients thoroughly.

Tips:
- For best results, use fresh, crisp lettuce leaves to ensure they hold the filling well and provide a good crunch.
- Toast the peanuts lightly before adding them to the mix to enhance their flavor.
- Use a sharp knife to finely chop the coriander leaves, ensuring even distribution of flavor throughout the mixture.
- If you prefer a bit of heat, consider adding a chopped chili or a dash of chili sauce to the beef mixture.
- Serve the parcels immediately after assembling to maintain the fresh and crispy texture of the lettuce.
