Beef doesn't have to be rich - served in crunchy lettuce cups, this is a perfect packed lunch.

500g sirloin or rump steak, trimmed
1 onion, very thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 cup (125ml) soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbs peanut oil
2cm piece ginger, grated
2 tbs brown sugar
1 butter lettuce, leaves separated and chilled
Steamed rice and coriander sprigs, to serve
3 spring onions, sliced on the diagonal
1 long red chilli, sliced into thin rings
Sweet chilli sauce, to serve (optional)

Method

1.

Slice the steak very thinly (it helps to freeze it for 15 minutes first). Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound each piece wafer thin. Place in a bowl with onion, garlic, ginger, soy, oils and sugar. Marinate in the fridge for 2-3 hours or overnight.
2.

Heat the flat plate of a barbecue on very high heat. Lay out the beef slices in a single layer and cook for 30 seconds each side. To serve, place some rice in a lettuce cup, then add beef, coriander, spring onion, chilli slices and sweet chilli sauce if desired.
