Marinade

  • 60 milliliters soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons hot chili-garlic sauce, such as Sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon peeled, finely grated ginger (with juices)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
 
  • 680 grams skirt steak, about 12 millimeters thick, trimmed of excess surface fat, cut crosswise into 15-centimeter pieces
  • 1 head butter lettuce
  • 185 grams uncooked white basmati rice
  • 4 scallions (white and light green parts only), thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeño chile peppers, preferably red, veins removed and seeded (if desired), finely chopped
  • 8 grams roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 lime, cut into 4 to 6 wedges

Instructions

  • In a large, resealable plastic bag combine the marinade ingredients. Place the steak pieces in the bag, press the air out of the bag, and seal tightly. Turn the bag to distribute the marinade, place in a bowl, and refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours.
  • Separate the leaves from the head of lettuce, wash and dry them, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Remove the steaks from the bag and reserve the marinade. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and boil for 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside. Allow the steaks to stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Cook the rice according to package instructions. Drain, if needed, and rinse briefly to cool.
  • Prepare the grill for direct cooking over high heat (230° to 290°C).
