2 tablespoons sriracha garlic sauce, plus more as condiment
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 lbs New York strip steaks or 2 lbs rib eye steaks, cut crosswise in 1/4-inch thick slices
1 large carrot, peeled and grated
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 -2 red jalapeno chile, thinly sliced
1 bunch green onion, white and green parts thinly sliced

1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/3 cup sesame seeds, lightly toasted
2 cups basmati rice, cooked
1 -2 head green leaf lettuce, leaves separated, washed and dried
1 tablespoon peanut oil or 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

For the marinade, whisk together soy sauce, beer, garlic, sugar, 2 tablespoons lime juice, Sriracha and sesame oil in a large bowl. Add meat and toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour or refrigerate covered up to 24 hours.
To Prepare Condiments. Toss carrot with remaining lime juice and salt in a small bowl and set aside. Place peppers, green onions, mint, cilantro, sesame seeds, sriracha and rice in individual serving bowls. Arrange lettuce on a platter.
To Prepare the Steak: Heat peanut or vegetable oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add beef strips in batches in one layer without overcrowding. Brown on both sides. Transfer to a platter and keep warm.
Once all the beef has been browned, pour the remaining marinade and any collected meat juices into the skillet. Bring to a boil, scraping up any bits and reduce until somewhat thickened. Pour into a small bowl.
To serve, top a lettuce leaf with a few spoonfuls of rice, 1-2 meat strips, and a spoonful of the marinade reduction. Sprinkle with the other condiments and drizzle with sriracha. Roll up and eat.
