Preparation
Step 1
Combine the fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, lemongrass, ginger and sesame oil in a small jug. Place the steak in a glass or ceramic bowl and pour over one-third of the dressing. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about 1 hour to marinate.
Preheat a barbecue or char-grill on high. Drain the marinade from the steak and sprinkle with the mixed pepper, gently pressing with fingers. Cook on barbecue or char-grill for 2-3 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil. Set aside for 10 minutes to rest. Thinly slice.
Place the cucumber, tomato, chilli, basil, mint and coriander in a large bowl and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Gently toss to combine. Place on serving plates. Top with beef and sprinkle with peanuts and lime leaves. Serve immediately.
