By Kwasome

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts
• 1 Tbs olive oil
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• 1 Tbs peanut butter
• 2 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts)
• 1/4 tsp ground red pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
• 1 2-lb 2-lb skirt or flank steak
• 2 small heads of bibb lettuce, separated into leaves
• Accompaniments: mint, cilantro, or basil sprigs; lime wedges

Preparation

Step 1

1 Heat grill to high. Pulse peanuts in a food processor until coarsely chopped; set aside. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add peanuts and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 3 minutes. Add soy sauce, lime juice, peanut butter, scallions, and ground red pepper. Cook, stirring constantly until scallions are wilted, about 2 minutes; transfer mixture to a serving bowl.

2 Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper and grill, turning once, 3 minutes for a medium-rare skirt steak, 6 minutes for medium-rare flank steak. Let stand 5 minutes; cut into thin strips. Serve sliced steak and peanut sauce wrapped in a lettuce leaf and with the accompaniment of your choice.
