Ingredients

-12 oz. flank, skirt, or sirloin steak

-salt and black pepper to taste

-1 TBSP hot sauce (suggestion: sriracha)

-2 TBSP fish sauce

-Juice of lime, plus wedges as garnish

-1 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced

-1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

-1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

-1 carrot, grated

-1 head bibb lettuce, leaves separated

Directions

1. Heat the grill to hot or heat a grill pan over high heat for at least 5 minutes. Season the steak with salt and pepper and toss it onto the grill. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side, until it's firm but yielding to the touch. Let it rest for 5 minutes.

2. Combine the hot sauce, fish sauce, and juice of 1 lime in a small saucepan over low heat.

3. Slice the steak thinly (if it's flank or skirt steak, be sure to cut across the grain) and drizzle half of the warm sauce over it. Set out the jalapeno and onion slinces, cilantro, carrot, and lettuce, along with the lime wedges and sauce. Use the leaves like tortillas to wrap up the steak slices with the other ingredients.
