INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 pound beef flank steak
  • 1/4 cup fish sauce
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon kecap manis
  • 3 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped shallots
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced onion
  • 2 tomatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1/4 cup sliced cucumber
  • 1/4 cup Thai chili peppers, sliced

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
  2. Grill beef to desired doneness, and allow to cool.
  3. While beef is cooling, stir together fish sauce, lime juice, kecap manis, garlic, ginger, cilantro, sesame oil, and chili oil; mix in the green onions and shallots. Adjust seasoning to your taste.
  4. Cut beef into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, toss with onion, tomatoes, cucumber, and chili peppers. Pour in the dressing, and toss to coat.


Note:

Kecap manis is an intensely dark brown, syrupy-thick sauce similar to soy sauce, but with a sweeter, more complex flavor.
