Ingredients

Scale

For the Beef Marinade:

  • 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon honey or brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for heat)

For the Rolls:

  • 12 rice paper wrappers
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup cucumber sticks (cut into matchsticks)
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • ½ cup fresh mint leaves
  • ½ cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1 avocado, sliced (optional)

For the Dipping Sauce:

  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2–3 tablespoons warm water (to thin the sauce)

Instructions

Marinate and Cook the Beef:

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, honey, and chili flakes. Whisk until well mixed.
  2. Marinate the Beef: Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge).
  3. Cook the Beef: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the beef slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Set aside to cool slightly.

Prepare the Vegetables and Wrappers:

  1. Prep the Veggies: Julienne the carrots, cucumbers, and cabbage. Wash and pat dry the fresh herbs.
  2. Soften the Rice Paper Wrappers: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for 5-10 seconds, until it softens and becomes pliable.

Assemble the Rolls:

  1. Add Fillings: Lay the softened wrapper flat on a clean surface. Arrange a few slices of cooked beef, a handful of vegetables, and fresh herbs in the center. Add a slice of avocado if desired.
  2. Roll Tightly: Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.

Make the Dipping Sauce:

  1. Mix the Sauce Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and garlic. Gradually add warm water until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.

Serve:

  1. Plate the Rolls: Arrange the rolls on a platter, seam-side down, and serve with the dipping sauce on the side.
