Dressing

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons water, hot

1/2 tablespoon sriracha sauce

2 tablespoons fish sauce

2 tablespoons lime juice

Beef

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 stalks lemongrass, trimmed, tender inner parts only, minced

1 tablespoon fish sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon sugar

1-1/2 pounds beef top loin steak

Salad

2 green (firm ripe) mangos, peeled, pitted and thinly sliced

1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

12 sprigs cilantro, chopped

1/4 cup Asian basil leaves, torn into thirds

3 tablespoons unsalted, roasted peanuts, crushed

To make the dressing:

Completely dissolve sugar in water; stir in fish sauce, lime juice and sriracha.

To prepare the beef:

Combine oil, lemongrass, fish sauce, soy sauce and sugar; stir until sugar dissolves. Add beef and coat thoroughly with marinade. Marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes. Grill beef over medium-hot heat until desired doneness is achieved; allow to rest before slicing, against the grain, into thin strips.
