- 2 medium shallots, peeled and cut into very thin slices
- 1 English cucumber, cut into matchsticks (see Note)

Инструкции
- Whisk together the smaller amount of fish sauce and lime juice with garlic, sugar and red pepper flakes. Add more juice and sauce to taste, if desired. Set aside.
- Rub soy sauce into both sides of the flank steak; marinate at room temperature 30 minutes. Heat a grill pan over high heat. Rub steak with oil and grill until rare, about 1 minute per side or until an instant-read thermometer registers 125 degrees in the center of the steak; do not overcook or the meat will be very tough. Set aside to cool. (Steak can also be cooked in the broiler or on an outdoor grill.)
- Slice the grilled meat on the diagonal into 2-inch-long pieces; slice as thinly as possible, approximately 1/16-inch thick, or meat will be very tough.
- Pour lime dressing over meat, then toss with mint, cilantro, shallots, cucumber, and green onions. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired, adding additional fish sauce, lime juice and crushed red pepper.
- Place the lettuce cups on a tray along with a bowl of the beef salad, sauces and sunflower seeds.
- Fill a lettuce leaf with a small amount of the salad. Drizzle with Thai sweet chili sauce or Asian dipping sauce, if desired, and top with sunflower seeds. Wrap leaf around beef.
- Note: English cucumbers have a delicate skin that does not have to be removed; they are also seedless. You could substitute two or three Persian or Mediterranean cucumbers, which have the same qualities, but are smaller. Or use regular kirby cukes, but peel them and seed them.
