What makes this grilled steak wonderful is its hot sauce. The sauce is very easy to make and most of the ingredients that are easy to find. This makes a great appetizer with beers and goes well with Jasmine rice for a main course. Traditionally, this dish is from northeastern Thailand and eaten with sticky rice.

This hot sauce is a simple, great sauce to take to a barbeque. While you can mix everything in advance, add the toasted rice at the last minute so that the crunchiness doesn't get soggy. Even soggy on the second day, it still tastes good though.
