CRYING TIGER (THAI-STYLE GRILLED STEAK WITH DRY CHILI DIPPING SAUCE) RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and vegetable oil in a medium mixing bowl. Coat the steaks with the soy sauce mixture and let them marinate while you work on the dipping sauce.
• Combine all ingredients for the dipping sauce in a small bowl and mix. If using, peel and deseed the tomatoes. Chop the pulp finely, and add it to prepared dried chile dipping sauce; set aside.
• Light one chimney full of charcoal . When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and spread the coals evenly over entire surface of coal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Alternatively, set all the burners on a gas grill to high heat. Clean and oil the grilling grate .
• Grill the steaks, turning frequently, until desired doneness is reached (medium-rare is recommended-steaks should register 125°F on an instant read thermometer when removed from grill). Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. (See the importance of resting meat ).
• Cut the steaks into 1/4-inch slices and serve with the dipping sauce. Warm sticky rice on the side is highly recommended.

CRYING TIGER THAI SALAD

Steps:

• Finely chop the coriander stalks and combine with the oyster and soy sauces. Lightly season, then tip into a sandwich bag with the steak. Massage the marinade into the meat, then put in the fridge for up to 3 hrs, but at least 1 hr.
• Put the dipping sauce ingredients in a bowl, finely chop 3/4 of the coriander leaves and add them too. Taste the sauce - if you like it sweeter, add a little more sweet chilli sauce; if you prefer it more salty, add a little extra fish sauce. Set aside.
• Heat a frying pan over a high heat and, once very hot, cook the steak for 2-3 mins each side, depending on how well done you like it. Rest the steak for 5-10 mins before slicing and serving on a bed of herbs, with the sauce on the side.

WEEPING TIGER (THAI MARINATED BEEF)

Steps:

• To make the 'weeping tiger', pound together the garlic and coriander in a pestle and mortar.
• Transfer to a large mixing bowl and combine with the peppercorns, fish sauce, soy sauce and sugar. Add the steak to the bowl and rub with the marinade. Leave in a cool place for 20 minutes.
• For the chilli sauce, toast the rice in a dry wok over a low heat, until golden brown all over. Grind to a fine powder using a mortar and pestle.
• Transfer the toasted rice powder to a small bowl, add the fish sauce, lemon juice, crushed chillies and sugar, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Leave on one side.
• For the steak, preheat a grill until hot, and lightly grease a grill rack. Grill the steak for 1½ - 2 minutes on each side, if you like your steak rare. Cook it for about 3-4 minutes on each side for well-cooked steak. Leave the steak to stand for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
• Serve the steak with the chilli sauce and accompany with rice.

WEEPING TIGER STEAKS

Steps:

• To make the marinade, mix all the ingredients until the sugar dissolves, then pour over the steaks. Leave to marinate for no longer than 2 hrs or the meat will turn pappy. Meanwhile, fire up your barbecue coals and wait for them to turn ashen.
• Mix all the dressing ingredients together. Toss the salad ingredients with half the dressing and set aside. When the coals are ashen, sear the steak for 3-4 mins on each side for medium-rare, then leave to rest for 5 mins. Carve the steaks into thin slices and fan out on the sides of the plates. Place a pile of salad on the other side of each plate and drizzle the remaining dressing over everything.
