Special Precautions and Tips:
- If you don't have flank steak, you can use another tender cut of beef, such as sirloin or ribeye.
- To make the dish spicier, add more Sriracha or red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- If you don't have time to marinate the steak, you can still make this dish. Just cook the steak for a few minutes less per side.
- Serve the Thai beef over your favorite rice or noodles. Jasmine rice or pad Thai noodles are good options.
