Thai Grilled Beef with String Beans

I would give this 5 stars out of 11. It was good but everything had the same flavor - the meat tasted the same as the beans. We'll probably have it again :) I took a picture but it looked like one of the pictures on the front of a cheap chinese food menu ...in other words not very appealing. Make it and see for yourself what it looks like!

• Flank Steak (or any kind of steak you would like - I got 3 small sirloin steaks for the two of us)
• Extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (I just juiced two limes)
• 1 TBsp Asian fish sauce (find it in the Asian food aisle)
• 1/4 chili paste
• 1 tsp of sugar substitue (I didn't include this...one tsp whats the point??)
• 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro (I used more - love that stuff)
• 1/2 thinly sliced scallions
• 1 pound green beans trimmed

heat grill or grill pan to high. Rub steaks on both sides with olive oil & season with salt & pepper. Grill to desired doneness (about 4mins per side for medium rare). Remove from heat. Whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, chili paste, sugar, cilantro and scallions in a large mixing bowl. Heat sauce pan of salted water until boiling. Add beans and cook under crisp-tender (about 3mins). Drain. Thinly slice meat across the grain. Toss with lime juice mixture, add beans, toss & serve.
