Left over steak? We got you covered.
Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh lemongrass
  • One 2 1/2lb flank steak
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 medium shallots, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup cilantro leaves
  • 2 teaspoons roasted rice powder
Steps:
  1. 1 In a large glass baking dish, mix the soy sauce with the pepper and 2 tablespoons of the lemongrass.
  2. 2 Add the flank steak and turn to coat. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  3. 3 Light a grill. Grill the flank steak over moderately high heat, turning once, until charred on the outside but still pink within, about 8 minutes.
  4. 4 Transfer the steak to a carving board and let stand for 5 minutes. Cut the steak in half lengthwise. Slice the halves across the grain 1/4 inch thick.
  5. 5 In a large wok or nonreactive skillet, combine the lime juice with the fish sauce, crushed red pepper, sugar and the remaining 2 tablespoons of lemongrass. Cook over moderate heat until hot.
  6. 6 Stir in the sliced steak along with 1 tablespoon of the marinade. Add the shallots, mint, cilantro and roasted rice powder, stirring to coat. Transfer the salad to plates and serve.
