1 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
-
1 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
-
½ cup white sugar
-
⅓ cup fish sauce
-
2 green onions, chopped
-
1 stalk lemongrass, smashed and cut into 1-inch pieces
-
1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine lime juice, cilantro, mint leaves, sugar, fish sauce, green onions, lemongrass, and chili sauce. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more sugar or fish sauce if needed; set aside.
Preheat the grill to high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Grill the steak for 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until the meat firms up and remains slightly pink in the center. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure it reaches 140°F (60°C) at the center.
Remove the steak from the grill and transfer to a cutting board. Slice into thin strips and mix with the juices. Add the steak to the bowl with the herb mixture, cover, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Arrange lettuce in a salad bowl and layer with cucumber slices. Top with the grilled steak and pour the herb mixture over everything. Garnish with cherry tomatoes and fresh cilantro leaves.
