•
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
•
1 (1 1/2-pound) flank steak
•
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
•
2 tablespoons soy sauce
•
1 tablespoon brown sugar
•
1 tablespoon fish sauce
•
2 teaspoons minced garlic

Directions
1
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Sprinkle pepper and salt onto flank steak.
2
Cook steak on preheated grill until desired doneness is reached, 5 to 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
3
Whisk lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, fish sauce, garlic, and chile-garlic sauce together in a bowl.
4
Mix romaine lettuce, mint, cilantro, and basil together in a bowl; spoon about 6 tablespoons lime juice mixture over romaine mixture. Toss to coat.
5
Cut steak into strips and place strips into remaining lime juice mixture; let sit for steak to marinate, 1 to 2 minutes. Place steak on romaine mixture.
