(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Healthy

Ingredients

  • 12 oz flank steak
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • Juice of 1 lime, plus wedges as garnish
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1 head Bibb lettuce, leaves separated

Directions

  1. Heat the grill to hot for at least 5 minutes. Season the steak with salt and pepper and toss it onto the grill. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side, until it’s firm but yielding to the touch. Let it rest for 5 minutes.

  2. Combine the hot sauce, fish sauce and juice of 1 lime in a small saucepan over low heat.

  3. Slice the steak thinly and drizzle half of the warm sauce over it. Set out the jalapeno and onion slices, cilantro, carrot and lettuce, along with the lime wedges and sauce. Use the leaves like tortillas to wrap up the steak slices with the other ingredients.
