We were ready for a new way to prepare flank steak, and this one was loved by all! Per other reviewers, reduced coriander by half, and chile paste by 2/3 (but that one's up to you!), and unintentionally marinated for 24 hours! Delicious! We grow our own lemon grass, and if you don't have it, try the local asian foods store. You can sometimes find all of these ingredients in some larger groceries, including the cooking rice wine.

I was really hoping to like this recipe, but as it is, I thought it was just ok, and not worth the trouble of getting my charcoal grill going. The flavor was pretty good, but something in the seasonings was a little off--too much coriander? Too much sake? I'm not sure. I made this according to the recipe except for substituting shallots for onions and crushed garlic for garlic salt. Oh, well--I might try it again, only on the stove, and I might reduce the marinade for a glaze. However, for all of you out there who love this recipe but are having a hard time finding lemongrass--one trip to an Asian grocery store and one good growing season, and you can have a pot full of lemongrass--the stalks will grow roots if they're fresh enough and placed in water for a few weeks. Just keep your cats away from them--mine go nuts for lemongrass.

This was absolutely delicious!! The only thing I will do differently next time is go ahead and marinate overnight. I marinated for about 8 hours and the flavor was good...but not quite as intense as I would have liked. I subbed beer for the rice wine, and omitted the lemongrass & mint.

This was delicious. Mine came out a little salty but was perfect with jasmine rice. Didn't have corriander but it was good anyway!

I made this for my girlfriend on her birthday...she loved it! I'm definatly using this one again!!

My family LOVED this recipe. The only changes I made.. added fresh garlic as suggested by another review. I didn't have fresh mint (and don't care for anyway) so, added cilantro instead. Reallly YUM.. Thanks for sharing!

Food Snob that I am... I usually tamper with ingredients, but didnt on this one. My sweetie dosent like mint... I even left it in this... she did'nt quite know, and she and the company loved it. I'd do it again...... oh ya... and, as alot of you know... I used buffalo.

I thought this marinade was not as smooth as I'd like...I think there were too many conflicting flavours for my liking...or I just don't know my thai herbs well enough...

Wow! We loved this dish. I couldn't find rice wine so I omitted it. I used 1/2 a Vidalla onion rather than red since it was what I had. I couldn't find fresh lemon grass so used a jar of dried. I also left out the garlic salt and added a clove of minced garlic. Nothing in the dish has an over powering flavor and we couldn't get enough of it at our house. I was concerned about the 3 tablespoons of chile paste, but the dish had an undertone of spiciness, but wasn't hot at all. In fact, I planned to give my 4 yo a hotdog, but she not only ate some but asked for seconds.

Outstanding!!! The aroma is wonderful. I didn't have any coriander so I used a dash of red pepper flakes. Grilled on the stove with a grill pan 6 minutes each side--perfect. Thanks for sharing.

I made this for the first time for company. We had several thai style dishes and this was the least favorite. I thought it was fine, but no one else seemed to like it for some reason. They thought the spices didn't taste right. My husband said next time he would omit the rice wine and cut back on the soy sauce.

I love this recipe!!!

We all LOVED this. I didn't have lemon grass, so used lemon verbena instead and left out the mint, as I'm not a big fan of it, but it was still delicious and a nice change of pace. Thanks Karyn.

Sooo good!

Excellent recipe! We all loved it,,even my 7 year old daughter! Will definitely make again..Thanks!
