Method

5 steps · 25 minutes

  1. Pat the steak dry, salt it on both sides, and leave it on the board while you make the dressing.
  2. Whisk the lime juice, fish sauce, erythritol and toasted rice powder in a small bowl. Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber into thin coins, and thinly slice the red onion.
  3. Heat the lard in a heavy pan over high heat until it just smokes. Lay the steak in and leave it undisturbed for 3 minutes a side for medium-rare. Lift it out and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Tip the warm dressing into a big bowl, add the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion and most of the herbs and scallions. Toss gently.
  5. Slice the steak thinly across the grain and arrange it over the salad. Pour the resting juices over the top, scatter the remaining herbs and the sliced chile, and serve with the lettuce leaves for wrapping.
