- 1 lb steak, broiled rare to medium rare and sliced thinly (I use Skirt
- Steak, flank steak)

- Dressing:
- 1/4C Fish Sauce
- 1/2C Lemon or Lime juice (fresh)
- 3 shallots, chopped fine
- 3 scallions, chopped fine
- Roots and stems of 3 cilantro (coriander) plants (use more stems if you
- don't have roots), chopped fine
- 1/4 to 1 tsp red pepper flakes (to taste), or 1 small fresh red pepper,
- seeded
-
- Garnish:
- 1/4C toasted rice powder (see below)
- Cilantro leaves
-
- Lettuce, Cucumber, Tomato, red onion

- Serves 4
-
- A great hot-weather meal, for cilantro fans.
-
- Toasted rice powder is made by toasting uncooked rice in an un-oiled
- skillet until golden brown. Stir a single layer of frequently to prevent
- burning and to ensure both sides of each grain are browned. Allow to
- cool slightly and grind in a pepper or coffee grinder to a fine powder.
