- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 4 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 Carrot (julienned)
- 1 Cucumber (julienned)
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh Thai basil leaves
- 0.25 cup Crushed peanuts
- 1 Red chili (thinly sliced)

Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
Place the flank steak into a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over the steak, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for more flavor).
While the steak marinates, soak the rice noodles in hot water for about 10 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the sauce by mixing sugar, hot water, fish sauce, lime juice, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar dissolves and set aside.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grates with vegetable oil.
Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Grill the steak for 3-5 minutes on each side, depending on the desired level of doneness. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
To assemble, divide the noodles among serving bowls. Top with sliced steak, julienned carrots, julienned cucumber, fresh mint leaves, cilantro, and Thai basil.
Drizzle the prepared sauce over the top, garnish with crushed peanuts and red chili, and serve immediately.
