1 pound beef rib eye

Marinade:
1/4 cup soy sauce

Dipping Sauce:
5 small dried red chiles
1/4 cup Thai fish sauce
Juice of 2 limes

Trim steaks of fat. Combine marinade ingredients in a large container. Add the beef, cover, and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours. Remove meat from refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling to enhance flavors.

Meanwhile, combine all the dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

Preheat grill. Grill steak, turning occasionally, 5 to 10 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer meat to a cutting board and set aside 10 minutes before slicing crosswise into thin slices. Transfer meat and juices to a serving platter and serve with the dipping sauce and Sticky Rice.
