Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Thinly slice the ribeye steak against the grain into 1/4 inch thick slices. This will help ensure tenderness.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, combine minced lemongrass, garlic, shallots, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, black pepper, and vegetable oil. Mix well to create a marinade.

Marinating

  1. 3

    Place the sliced ribeye in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly.

  2. 4

    Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat deeply.

Grilling

  1. 5

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F to 500°F).

  2. 6

    Grill the Beef

    Remove the ribeye from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the slices on the hot grill.

  3. 7

    Cook Time

    Grill the beef for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until desired doneness is reached. Avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness.

  4. 8

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the beef from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps retain juices.
