Beef Waterfall

Beef Waterfall

Marinade:, per 1 pound of Flank steak

5 pounds flank steak

1 tablespoon fish sauce

1 teaspoon tamarind concentrate mixed with 3 teaspoons water, 2 teaspoons tamarind concentrate mixed with 5 teaspoons water (this makes tamarind juice)

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper



Remaining Ingredients, for 5 pounds of Steak

1/2 cup fish sauce

1/2 cup lime juice

3 tablespoons rice powder

1 large red onion, or two small

1 bunch full of cilantro



Directions:

Mix the marinade, put steak and marinade in plastic bag for at least 3 hours.



Heat your barbeque to maximum heat for 15-25 minutes. Scrub BBQ

grills with wire brush. Put all the steak on the grill. Grill for

about 5-7 minutes on one side or until the steak has nice black/brown

lines from the grill and dark brown between the lines. Flip and grill

other side for about 5-7 minutes. Steak should be about medium

inside. Do not flip extra times or it will dry out.



When steak is done, place on cutting board and slice against the grain

in thin slices at a 45 degree angle. Place in bowl and add rice

powder. Add juice from cutting board. Boil lime juice and fish sauce

in sauce pan for 2 minutes. (it smells bad) Add cooked lime juice

and fish sauce to meat to taste. Allow steak to cool slightly before

adding onions and cilantro.



To prepare cilantro, cut the whole bunch about 8 times. Don't mince

it. Cut leaves no smaller than ½ their size. Slice onion in very

thin ring slices, about 1/16". Then cut the circles in quarters.

After about 10 minutes, add purple onion and cilantro. (you don't want

these items to cook). Serve warm or room temp. Do not reheat. (the

cilantro turns nasty flavor)
