Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef sirloin, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 tbsp lemongrass, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1 cucumber, julienned
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 12 rice paper wrappers

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Grill or grill pan
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Large plate or tray
  • Bowl of warm water

Method

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the lemongrass, garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, honey, and vegetable oil.
  2. Add the sliced beef to the bowl and toss to coat with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours in the fridge.
  3. While the beef is marinating, prepare the veggies by julienning the carrot and cucumber and washing the cilantro and mint leaves.
  4. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  5. Grill the beef strips for 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked to your liking.
  6. Remove the beef from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
  7. To assemble the rice paper rolls, dip one sheet of rice paper into the bowl of warm water for a few seconds until it softens and becomes pliable.
  8. Place the softened rice paper on a large plate or tray and add a few strips of beef, a few pieces of carrot and cucumber, and a few leaves of cilantro and mint on top.
  9. Fold the sides of the rice paper inwards and then tightly roll it up from the bottom to the top.
  10. Repeat with the remaining rice paper sheets and filling ingredients.
  11. Serve the rice paper rolls immediately with a dipping sauce of your choice.

Notes

If you don't have a grill or grill pan, you can cook the beef strips in a skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side.
