Ingredients

1 large shallot, thinly sliced
Juice of two limes
2 Tablespoons fish sauce
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
1 Thai chili, thinly sliced
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound 1855 Black Angus Beef flank steak
1 1/2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
2 cucumbers, diced
1 head Bibb lettuce, leaves separated, washed, and dried
6 shiso leaves, shredded
1/4 bunch cilantro, rinsed, dried, and left whole
Chopped salted peanuts

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the shallot, lime juice, fish sauce, oil, Thai chili, sugar, salt, and pepper.
Place the steak in a shallow non-reactive pan or pie plate and add 3 Tablespoons of the shallot mixture. Turn/tilt the pan to coat and let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature (or 1-2 hours in the fridge).
Preheat a grill or broiler to high. In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes and cucumbers with 3 Tablespoons of the shallot mixture.
Pat steak dry and grill about 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes.
Place the lettuce on a platter. Thinly slice the steak and transfer to another platter. Serve with the remaining shallot mixture, cherry tomato and cucumber mixture, shiso, cilantro, and peanuts. Let diners build their own lettuce cups.
