Method
Preheat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Combine the salt, white pepper, black pepper and oil in a glass or ceramic bowl. Add the beef and toss the mixture for an even coat. Thread the beef and onion onto the skewers (you'll enjoy this part, it's so satisfying).
Chargrill the skewers, turning, for 5 minutes for medium or until cooked to your liking (but don't be that person who loves their meat well done, or in other words, unchewable).
Transfer the beef to a tray and cover it loosely with foil. Allow it to stand for 5 minutes to let it rest.
Meanwhile, place the lettuce leaves, in a single layer, on a large serving platter. Top each of the lettuce leaves with bean sprouts and a bit of mint.
To serve, place 1 beef skewer on top of each lettuce leaf and serve with lemon wedges.
Enjoy all the meaty, crispy, lettuce-y yumminess.
