Ingredients

1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons mushroom soy sauce (available in Asian markets)
7 medium cloves garlic, crushed

2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon water
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 head green leaf lettuce

Steps:

Combine sugar, 1 teaspoon of the black pepper, soy sauce and garlic in bowl large enough to hold the beef. Stir well.
Add beef and stir to coat well; marinate for 20 minutes, or longer.
Combine remaining pepper with lime juice and water, and place in small serving bowl.
Saute beef in hot oil, three to four minutes, until medium rare. Arrange on platter lined with lettuce and serve with lime sauce and toothpicks, or serve as a main course over jasmine rice or fragrant rice, sauce on the side.
