Ingredients

1 c. unsalted dry roasted peanuts
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 tsp. fish sauce or soy sauce
2 Tbsp. lime juice

Preparation

Heat grill to high. Pulse peanuts in a food processor until coarsely chopped; set aside.

Add fish or soy sauce, lime juice, peanut butter, scallions and ground red pepper. Cook, stirring constantly until wilted, 2 minutes; transfer mixture to a serving bowl. Sprinkle steak with salt and freshly ground pepper. Grill, turning once, 3 minutes for a medium-rare skirt steak; 6 minutes for a medium-rare flank steak. Let stand 5 minutes. Cut into thin slices. Serve sliced steak and peanut sauce wrapped in lettuce leaves and with the accompaniments of your choice.
