Ingredients

For marinating

For the sauce

  • 1/2 lime
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried chili flakes
  • 1/2 tablespoon toasted rice powder

Instructions

  • Crush garlic and black peppercorns with a mortar and pestle. Mix in palm sugar, golden mountain sauce, and oyster sauce to make the beef marinade.
  • Rub the marinade all over your steak and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to an hour to soak up the flavors.
  • Make the dipping sauce by mixing fish sauce, fresh lime juice, red pepper flakes, toasted rice powder, and in a small bowl. Garnish with some freshly chopped coriander.
  • Grill the steak on a charcoal grill or in a grilling pan over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes each side, depending on how thick your steak is, to get it medium rare or as you like it. Let the steak rest a bit before cutting it into thin slices. Serve it with the crying tiger sauce. Enjoy!
