1. Remove the stems, but not the seedes, from the chilies. Slice the
chiles crosswise into pieces 1/8" thick. Place the sliced chiles and
vinegar in a small serving bowl. Let it stand for at least 15 minutes.
2. Grill the beef to the desired doneness, preferably over charcoal.
Slice it across the grain into strips 1/8" thick and 1 to 2 inches
long. Put these in a large ceramic bowl.
3. Peel the red onion, remove the root portion, and slice the onion
vertically into thin strips. Slice the green onion diagonally into
thin pieces. Add both types of onion to the beef.
4. Add the lime juice, fish sauce, ground chilies, and ground rice.
Mix well
5. Arrange a single layer of lettuce leaves on a serving platter, and
place th beef mixture on top. Garnish with sprigs of coriander and
mint or basil leaves.
6. Serve at room temperature, the vinegar sauce (from Step 1) and
rice.
* Use small hot chilies about 3 to 4 inches long. Roast whole chillie
stems and all, in a dry wok or skillet until the color changes to
dark red or brown depending on the chilies used. Be careful not to
let them burn. When the chilies have cooled, remove the stems and
seeds. Place the chilies in a food processor or blender and grind
using short pulses. Pre-ground chilies are also commercially
available, but often lack the "bite" of home ground ones and may be
more expensive.
** Place uncooked rice in a dry wok or skillet and heat over moderate
heat until deep golden brown,s tirring frequently to keep from
burning and to allow it to develop a uniform color. Watch the rice
carefully after it begins to change colorand stir constantly because
it can burn easily at this stage. When it is auniform deep golden
color, remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Grind
it to a fine powder in a blender or a spice grinder. This can be made
in advance and kept in quantity so that there is always a supply on
hand, but it is also easy to make up while preparing the dish.
