Method

To Grill Beef
1

Preheat the barbecue grill until hot.

2

Rub steaks with a little oil, season and place on the hot grill.

3

Grill for 3 minutes then turn over and grill for a further 3 minutes for medium-rare beef.

4

Remove from the grill and place on a plate.

5

Cover loosely with foil and leave to rest and cool.

To Make Dipping Sauce
1

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl.

2

Cover and set aside to allow the flavours to mingle.

To Make Rolls
1

Cut steaks across the grain into thin slices. To assemble – dip 1 sheet of rice paper into a bowl of warm water, removing it when soft – after about 1 minute. Place on a clean, dry tea towel on the bench. The rice paper will be pliable and easy to roll.

2

Place a coriander and mint leaf on the rice paper then a slice of steak followed by a tablespoon of filling on top (be careful not to overfill). Turn in the sides and carefully roll up into a cigar shape, making sure that the coriander and mint leaves are visible.

To Serve
1

Place on a serving plate covering with damp kitchen paper as you go, along with a small bowl of the dipping sauce. Repeat the assembly process to make more rolls.
