Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce or reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 head iceberg lettuce, halved, cored and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon canola oil, divided
- 12 ounces sirloin steak, trimmed of fat and thinly sliced
- 3 jalapeno or serrano chili peppers, seeded and minced
- 1 onion, finely chopped

Directions
Stir together fish sauce (or soy sauce) and brown sugar in a small bowl.
Arrange lettuce on a platter or individual plates.
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Stir-fry beef, in batches, until browned on the outside and still pink inside, about 1 minute per batch.
Spoon over the lettuce.
Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the pan and cook chili peppers, onions and garlic, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 1 minute.
Add the fish-sauce (or soy-sauce) mixture and bring to a boil, stirring.
