Beef Nam Tok (Beef With A Spicy Dressing) Thailand

• 2 steaks (or leftover roast beef) • 1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce • 2 spring onions • 2 – 3 chili powder • 2 shallots, sliced • Bunch of mint • 1 1/2 tablespoons toasted rice • Lime juice Grill or pan fry the steaks for about 8 minutes, turning regularly, and cook until you are happy. (I like mine medium rare, so cook for a little longer if you prefer your steak more well done.) Remove from heat and place the steak sit on a plate to relax. Mix together the thinly sliced shallots, spring onion and mint leaves. Slice the steak into thin slices Add lime juice, shallot, green onion, mint leaves, ground chili pepper, ground toasted rice and fish sauce to the steak. Mix well. Check seasoning and serve (traditionally with sticky rice) www.rovingchef.net http://www.boroughmarket.org.uk
