Recipe
Preparation Time: 25 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Ready Time: 2 hrs 40 mins
- place the lemon grass, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, fish sauce, rice vinegar, dark soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil into the work bowl of a food processor, and process until the mixture forms a paste. coat both sides of the steaks with the marinade paste, and refrigerate, covered, for 2 to 3 hours.
- preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- in a bowl, combine peanuts, sesame seeds, sea salt, and pepper until thoroughly mixed.
- remove the steaks from the marinade, and discard any remaining marinade. pat the steaks very dry with paper towels for good charring. rub each steak with about 3/4 teaspoon of vegetable oil. sprinkle the peanut mixture generously over both sides of each steak, and press the spices into the meat.
- grill on the preheated grill until the steaks show grill marks, start to become firm, and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 4 to 5 minutes per side. an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees f (54 degrees c). let the steaks rest at least 5 minutes before slicing.
