## Ingredients

- 3 teaspoons palm sugar
- 1 fish sauce
- 1 finely ground black pepper
- 2 striploin steak
- 1 cup raw sticky rice
- 1 handful red Asian shallots
- 1 bunch mint
- 1 bunch sawtooth coriander
- 1 bunch spring onion
- 1 cabbage
- 1 bunch snake beans
- 1 chili powder
- 2 lime juice

## Instructions

1. Shave palm sugar using a sharp knife. A fine shaving is needed for the sugar to dissolve in the salad dressing and marinade.
2. Prepare the marinade by mixing palm sugar, fish sauce, and finely ground black pepper in a bowl.
3. Pound the steaks to make them about 2cm or half an inch thick. This thickness is perfect for cooking.
4. Marinate the steak pieces in the prepared marinade for a few minutes.
5. Toast raw sticky rice in a hot pan until it turns a nice golden color.
6. Grind the toasted rice into a powder using a mortar and pestle.
7. Add oil to a hot pan and grill the marinated steaks until they are evenly cooked, flipping them to get a nice dark color on both sides. You can check for doneness by poking the steak with your finger.
8. Let the cooked steaks rest while you prepare the salad dressing.
9. Prepare the salad dressing by combining the remaining shaved palm sugar, fish sauce, chili powder, and lime juice in a bowl.
10. Finely slice the red Asian shallots.
11. Mix the warm beef and shallots with the salad dressing.
12. Slice the rested steak into thin slices.
13. Add the sliced steak to a bowl with the sliced shallots. Add some salad dressing.
14. Add mint leaves to the steak mixture.
15. Finely chop sawtooth coriander and add it to the salad.
16. Add spring onion to the salad.
17. Add more salad dressing and mix well.
18. Add more chili powder to the salad.
19. Serve with cabbage and snake beans.
