1/ This simple recipe is an act of cultural appropriation. You’ve had your trigger warning. It’s flank steak in a Vietnamese inspired marinade, served over brown rice w/herbs and onions, along with some shredded cabbage and carrots also in Asian dressing. Details…

2/ so the marinade is good for about 2 lbs of flank steak. You want to take zest off two limes, and juice of both. Mix with 2 diced garlic cloves, 1/2 cup fish sauce, a diced jalapeño, and three tbsp of brown sugar. Let it rest in fridge overnight.

3/To feed 2 people, I use about 1/2 cup of brown rice, cooked it in rice cooker. When it’s done I mix in some chopped cilantro and green onion.

4/ the dressing for the salad is (this is also for 2 people) is 1 tbsp brown rice vinegar, 1 tbsp soy sauce, juice of half a large lime, 1/2 tsp fish sauce, one diced garlic clove, 1/2 tsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp sugar

5/ I fried the steak in cast iron till I got it medium rare (about 120 F internal temp). I then served it sliced over the rice I mixed with cilantro and green onion, and served my shredded cabbage and carrots tossed in dressing alongside. Was simple, quite good.

6/ so now the people who have made all the snide comments about how I never post recipes any more - cut me a break.
