Creating Thai Crying Tiger Beef is easy when you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, black pepper, and chili flakes.
2. Marinate the Beef: Place the beef in a resealable bag or a dish. Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring it’s well-coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3. Prepare the Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, combine fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, chopped chilies, and minced garlic. Stir until the sugar dissolves and set aside.
4. Preheat the Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high. If using a grill pan, heat over medium-high on the stovetop.
5. Grill the Beef: Remove the beef from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.
6. Rest the Meat: Once cooked, remove the beef from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
7. Slice the Beef: Cut the beef against the grain into thin slices to ensure tenderness.
8. Garnish: Place the sliced beef on a serving plate. Drizzle some of the dipping sauce over the top and sprinkle with chopped cilantro and green onions.
9. Serve the Remaining Sauce: Serve the remaining dipping sauce on the side for additional flavor.
