Roughly translated means: “you’ll cry like a baby grilled steak”. If you’re afraid of flavor fear not – all of the heat is in the dipping sauce which you can moderate at meal time. Try it, please. \ud83d\ude42 This does require some non-trivial prep and marinate time, but it’s one of my favorite Thai refinements. Steak can be cooked over a wood fire, charcoal grill, gas grill or on a stove top as desired. Goes great with rice, rice noodle or cous-cous (culinary faux paux, I know).<\/p>\n

1 tbsp soy sauce Steak:<\/p>\n 2 lbs lean steak (thinner is better, but whatever) Steak prep<\/em>: In a large bowl dissolve the sugar in soy sauce (stir).
