A great way to eat left-over steak - it's a meal that tastes completely different than yesterday with minimal effort. However, it's such a good recipe that we even cook the steak just to make Yum Nua

2 Servings, Prep Time: 15 Minutes, Total Time: 15 Minutes

1/2 lb beef
10 sprigs cilantro
2 tablespoon fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground dried chili pepper Optional
1-2 limes
1 teaspoon Nam Prig Pow Optional
1/4 thinly sliced onion
2 sprigs spearmint Optional

Tips and Techniques

We use inexpensive flat steak when we buy it just for the recipe, but use any left over steak.
Use either red or yellow onion.

Method

Broil or grill the steak until medium rare. When cooked, slice the steak against the grain into very thin slices .

The amount of onion that you should add should be equal to the amount of meat. Mince most of the cilantro and the mint, but set aside a few sprigs of cilantro and mint for a garnish. Put the beef, onion, cilantro, mint, fish sauce, chili pepper and nam prik pow in a bowl and mix together.

Add 3/4 of a lime and taste. Depending on how sour and how juicy your lime is, you might need more. If you need more lime, keep adding just a little. This dish should taste a little hot, and well balanced between the lime and the fish sauce. Serve warm or cold.
