This marinated steak uses bold flavors such as ginger and fish sauce. Make the marinade in advance, but only add the steak the same day. The pickled carrots and cucumbers are a great make-ahead side. You can also serve this dish with brown rice.
Citrus Source
Limes are 8% citric acid and thus one of the best sources of the component in food form. Citric acid has been demonstrated to help prevent kidney stones from forming by raising the level of citrate in the urine and thus inhibiting the binding of calcium and other compounds to create stones.

The Day Of
3.Pat steak dry and place in a bowl. Pour marinade over and turn to coat; let stand for 15 to 30 minutes. Preheat grill to high; grease grill. Add steak and cook to desired doneness, 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium rare. Meanwhile, pour marinade into a skillet; bring to a boil on medium heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Transfer steak to a cutting board, tent with foil; let rest for 5 minutes.
4. Slice steak against the grain. Divide among plates and spoon a small amount of sauce on top (you will have sauce left over). Serve with pickles.
