Suea rong hai

Method

1. 1 Choose a cut of beef with a thick layer of fat around the edges and marinate it in soy sauce for 2 hours.
2. 2 The layer of fat dripping onto the charcoal creates so much smoke that even a tiger would cry – that's the name of the dish.
3. 3 Grill over medium heat for 4 minutes on each side until the center is still pink.
4. 4 Let it rest for 10 minutes, then slice it thickly across the grain.
5. 5 Roast the glutinous rice and dried chili peppers separately, then grind them into a powder.
6. 6 Mix fish sauce with tamarind juice, lime juice, palm sugar, and two types of roasted flour to make jaew sauce.

With an appliance

• Charcoal grill 40 min

  Grill over charcoal, keeping the grill 12 cm above the coals, for 8 minutes; the fat dripping onto the charcoal and creating smoke is the essence of the dish.
