  5. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill meat on both sides, about 2 minutes to a side or longer, depending on the desired degree of doneness.

  6. Quickly, while the meat is still hot, cut the slices into 1/2 inch strips and add them to the greens. If there are any accumulated meat juices, add them to the sauce. Pour the sauce over all and toss. Serve immediately with hot rice or long loaves of bread. NOTE: Either Nuoc nam (Vietnamese fish sauce) or Nam pla) Thai fish sauce may be used in this recipe. Fish sauce and powdered red chiles are widely available in Chinese markets.
