Fiery Grilled Beef Salad Recipe

Here's the recipe for the grilled beef salad.  It's from Victor Sodsook's True Thai, w/ my touches.  Make the dressing first (let it set aside for an hour or so), prep the veggies, grill the meat, then put it all together.  Slice the meat on the bias into bite-size pieces, toss w/ veggies, then toss w/ dressing.  Serve over pieces of iceberg lettuce.

Dressing
1/2 c fresh lemon juice
2 tbs fish sauce
2 tbs brown sugar
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 serrano chili, fine dice
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/4 c cilantro stems, fine chop

Veggies
2 stalks lemon grass, bottom four inches, tough outer layes removed, fine chop
1 small red onion, halved, fine slice
1/2 cucumber, peeled, fine slice
2 tomatoes, sliced into thin (~10) wedges
1/2 c chopped mint

Beef--marinate 11/2# sirloin in soy marinade for 2-3 hr, then grill to med rare, sliced on the bias.
