Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare the Beef: Start by slicing the beef flank steak thinly across the grain. This ensures tenderness in every bite.
-
-
Marinate the Beef: In a medium bowl, combine the zest and juice of lemons, 2 tablespoons of sugar, sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Add the sliced beef to the mixture, tossing to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Prepare the Vinegar Dressing: In a small saucepan, combine water, rice vinegar, the remaining 4 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then let it simmer for about 5 minutes until it becomes syrupy. Stir in the crushed red pepper flakes, then set the dressing aside.
-
Grill the Beef: Remove the beef from the marinade, discarding any excess marinade. Thread the beef slices onto metal or wooden skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in hot water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning). Grill the beef over medium-hot briquets for approximately 3 minutes per side, or until cooked through to your desired level of doneness.
-
Prepare the Tortillas: While the beef is grilling, heat the flour tortillas on the grill until they are warm and slightly charred, adding a delicious smoky flavor to the wraps.
-
Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the warm tortillas and layer them with lettuce leaves, grilled beef slices, fresh mint leaves, and cilantro leaves. Drizzle the prepared vinegar dressing over the filling.
-
Roll and Serve: Carefully roll the tortillas to enclose the flavorful filling, creating tight wraps. Garnish the assembled wraps with slices of star fruit, diced red bell pepper, and strips of orange peel for an extra burst of color and flavor.
Serving Suggestions:
These Vietnamese Grilled Steak Wraps are best served fresh off the grill, accompanied by a side of sweet chili sauce or creamy peanut sauce for dipping. Pair them with a refreshing cucumber salad or a bowl of steamed jasmine rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
