John, that's the best looking live fire-cooked fish sauce marinated flank steak I've seen around here in a long time!

Cooked just right, also like the bacon side salad thingy, too.

Trimmed off the root and ran the Brussel sprouts through the Cuisinart with the shredding blade.

Ran whole (non-salted) Almonds through it with chopper blade.

Cooked 1lb of bacon on the Blackstone, when it cooled, it got crumbled up.

Added all that together, along with a cup of shredded Parmesan.

Tossed with a Lemon, Orange vinaigrette

Red Boat is the good stuff.
I never thought of using it on a steak of any kind.

Mike, fish sauce is a staple in Asian cooking, particularly Thai cuisine. It also adds a ton of flavor to a good many things. Here's a good primer:

Note the images of Red Boat fish sauce in the above article, which is also what John used. Red Boat was launched by one of the Brethren, Smoke Jumper, back in 2011(I think). It's the gold standard in fish sauces and we would not be without it. We use it in all of our Thai cooking, as well as many other dishes.

Fantabulous!!!!

 

[ShadowDriver]

Killer, John!

I've used anchovies as a part of herbs and such on lamb before... and Red Boat when marinating my Thai-inspired pork ribs.... but never tried fish sauce as a marinade for beef.

The flavors going on in there are right up my alley. Need to follow suit in near future.

Have a great weekend!

Oh yes,
Fish sauce works great with beef.
Also with chicken, pork and anything.
Just don't smell the bottle
