This is the best Lettuce Bundles With Grilled Beef recipe on the web!!VIETNAM Advance Preparation: 30 minutes for marinating the meat and soaking the noodles Special Equipment: 24 short bamboo skewers, soaked for 1 hour in cold water to cover and drained This dish could be thought of as a Vietnamese taco. Although it doesn’t really exist there, I was inspired to create it by a classic Vietnamese dish called bo bun (beef with rice paper). It’s a fun combination of salad, pasta, and meat courses mixed into a single, satisfying mouthful. It’s also a versatile dish that you can prepare with any type of meat (or seafood), a variety of noodles-I’ve used Thai rice vermicelli, Japanese soba, and Western-style spaghetti. The recipe calls for sirloin, but you could also use shell steak or New York strip. Rice vermicelli are hair-thin rice noodles. Look for them in Asian markets, natural foods stores, and an increasing number of supermarkets. _ beef sirloin steak, boneless (about 1 pound), cut about 1 inch thick Aromatic Lemongrass Marinade (see recipe) _ oz vermicelli, rice, soba noodles, angel hair pasta, or spaghetti _ bunch basil, fresh, preferably Thai basil, stemmed _ bunch fresh mint, stemmed (optional) _ jalapeno chiles, , thinly sliced (optional - for lettuce bundles with less eat, seed the chiles) _ head lettuce, Boston or Bibb, separated into leaves, rinsed and spun dry Thai Peanut Sauce 1. Lay the steak flat on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut it lengthwise into 1/8-inch-wide strips, then transfer to a nonreactive baking dish. Add the marinade and toss the beef to coat thoroughly. Cover and let marinate, in the refrigerator, for 30 minutes. 2. If using rice vermicelli, soak in a bowl in cold water to cover until soft and pliable, about 30 minutes. (If using soba, angel hair, or spaghetti, no soaking is necessary.) Drain the rice noodles and cook in 3 quarts rapidly boiling water until tender, 2 to 4 minutes (6 to 8 minutes if using the other noodles). Drain whichever noodles you used in a colander and rinse with cold water. Drain again and transfer the noodles to a bowl. Arrange the basil, mint (if using), chiles (if using), and lettuce leaves on plates or in bowls. Divide the peanut sauce among 4 small bowls (see Note). 3. Preheat the grill to high. 4. Weave the beef strips lengthwise onto the skewers. When ready to cook, oil the grill grate. Arrange the skewers on the hot grate and grill, turning with tongs, until the meat is cooked to taste, about 1 to 2 minutes per side (2 to 4 minutes in all) for well-done. Transfer to a platter. 5. To eat, wrap a strip of beef, a forkful of noodles, some basil and mint leaves and chile slices (if using) in a lettuce leaf. Slide the skewer out (you can use the lettuce leaves as pot holders for sliding the beef off the skewers). Dip the resulting bundle first into the sauce and then pop it into your mouth-for a contrast of textures, temperatures, and flavors that is dazzling. Serves 4 as an appetizer, 2 to 3 as an entrée Note: The recipe can be prepared to this point up to 3 hours in advance. If you do so, cover everything with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Don’t heat the grill until you’re ready to proceed. Recipe from The Barbecue! Bible by Steven Raichlen Copyright 2009 by Steven Raichlen. All rights reserved.
