Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium if preferred)
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (about 1 large lime)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated (or 1 tsp ground ginger)
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil (canola, grapeseed, or avocado oil)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fish sauce
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1–2 Thai red chilies, finely chopped (or jalapeño for milder heat)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint, chopped (or basil)
  • 2 tbsp green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp water (to thin, if needed)

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat from steak and cut into 1-inch cubes. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, neutral oil, black pepper, and chili flakes (if using).
  3. Add steak cubes to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, chopped chilies, cilantro, mint, green onions, and water. Stir until sugar dissolves. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Preheat grill, grill pan, or broiler to high (about 450°F). Brush grates lightly with oil.
  6. If using skewers, thread steak cubes onto skewers, leaving space between each. Otherwise, grill cubes directly.
  7. Grill steak bites for 2-3 minutes per side, turning once, until charred outside and juicy inside (internal temp 130-135°F for medium-rare).
  8. Transfer steak bites to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
  9. Arrange steak bites on a platter, garnish with extra herbs if desired, and serve with spicy herb dip.

Notes

Cut steak cubes evenly for best results. Don’t overcrowd the grill—high heat and space between pieces ensure a good char. Adjust the dip’s heat and sweetness to taste. For gluten-free, use tamari or certified gluten-free soy sauce and check fish sauce labels. Steak bites can be made ahead and reheated gently. The dip improves after a few hours in the fridge.
