Instructions
1
Prep
Pat the sirloin dry on a plate and season lightly with salt, letting it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes.
2
Sear
Heat a grill pan over high heat with cooking spray; grill the sirloin 2–3 minutes per side until deeply charred outside, pink inside.
3
Rest
Transfer the beef to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes so the juices redistribute before slicing.
4
Build
Slice the rested beef thinly against the grain and place in a bowl with lime juice, fish sauce and sugar; toss until glossy.
5
Toss
Thinly slice the shallot and fresh chili; add shallot, chili, mint, cilantro, cucumber and toasted rice powder to the bowl; toss gently.
6
Plate
Arrange the lettuce leaves on a plate and spoon the warm beef salad evenly into each cup; serve immediately.
