For an extra layer of flavor, grill the flank steak instead of sautéing it. Adjust the amount of Thai chile peppers in the fish sauce to control the level of spiciness. Garnish with crushed peanuts for added texture and nutty flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
StepCook the Noodles (12 minutes): Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the vermicelli noodles and cook until they are soft. Drain the noodles and rinse them thoroughly with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
02
StepMarinate the Beef (30 minutes): In a bowl, combine the minced lemongrass, soy-based seasoning, dry sherry, brown sugar, and 3 cloves of minced garlic. Add the thinly sliced flank steak to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it sit at room temperature, allowing the flavors to meld.
03
StepPrepare the Fish Sauce Dressing: In a separate medium bowl, combine the warm water, white sugar, and lemon juice. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the fish sauce, minced Thai peppers, and remaining 2 cloves of minced garlic. Taste and adjust the seasonings to your preference.
04
StepSauté the Beef (10-12 minutes): Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, discarding any excess. Add the steak to the hot skillet and cook until it's slightly pink in the center, flipping halfway through.
05
StepAssemble and Serve: Divide the cooked vermicelli noodles among four bowls. Top with the sautéed steak, fresh Thai basil leaves, cilantro, and bean sprouts. Generously drizzle the sweetened fish sauce over each bowl before serving.
