  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lime zest & juice, red chili, garlic, ginger, fish sauce and brown sugar. Set aside.
  • Pat the steak dry with paper towel. Grill steak 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill, loosely cover with foil and let rest for 5 minutes.

Notes

  • This recipe easily doubles or even triples to feed a large crowd. If you are a basil fan, try including a handful of torn leaves to the salad as well.
