½teaspoonSugarOptional (if you prefer to have some sweetness in your dressing) I don't add any.
Instructions
Remove Steak from the refrigerator at least an hour before cooking. Pat the steak dry and salt on both sides. Rest on the countertop on a plate.
Toast (glutinous) rice grains in a skillet, optional with lime leaves. Once they grains are golden brown, place them in a spice grinder or blender till a fine powder forms.
Grill steak or cook on a cast iron skillet on the stove. Depending on the steak thickness, I recommend 4 minutes on each side for Medium. Use an instant thermometer for accurate results. The lime juice will cook the steak more, so medium is preferred.
Once the steak is cooked, allow to rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board then slice thin against the grain.
In a bowl mix fish sauce, lime juice, chili powder, and toasted rice powder.
Add sliced steak, red onion, green onion, cilantro, and mint leaves to a large bowl. Pour dressing in and mix well. Taste and add additional fish sauce or lime juice if needed.Serve with lettuce leaves, extra herbs, sliced cucumbers, and Thai Sticky rice.
Notes
Toasted rice powder can also be purchased instead of homemade. Linked belowRecipe for Sticky Rice
