SPICY THAI-STYLE


FLANK STEAK SALAD


This is probably my favorite beef marinade of all time.
Sweet, spicy, sour, and salty, it encompasses the four
basic flavors of Thai cuisine. While there’s no salt added
to the recipe, the fish sauce and soy sauce are plenty salty.


NOTES: You can also cook the meat indoors in a grill pan
or in a large skillet—split the steak crosswise in half so
you can fit it in the pan. Flank steak can be replaced with
hanger, skirt, or flap meat.


SERVES 4
