Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tbsp peanut oil
3 tbsp kecap manis or kecap manis sedang (black sauce)
2 lbs top sirloin steaks (flank or skirt steak would also be delicious)
salt and pepper
3 tbsp fish sauce
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp chili sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp fresh cilantro, minced
small head of lettuce

Steps:

In a shallow baking dish, whisk together oil and black sauce. Salt and pepper steaks then place in baking dish, turning to coat in sauce. Allow steaks to sit at room temperature, turning occasionally. Combine fish sauce, lime juice, chili sauce, brown sugar and cilantro, set aside. Wash and separate lettuce leave, arrange on a platter. Grill steaks until medium rare, three minutes per side over an extremely hot grill. Allow steaks to rest, then slice thinly against the grain. Serve atop lettuce leaves, with reserved sauce on the side for dipping. Wrap meat and a spoonful of sauce in a lettuce leaf.
