Nobody really knows why the tiger is crying (perhaps the sauce is too spicy for him?), but this popular classic from the northeastern Isaan region is delicious and a quick-and-easy way to make grilled steak far more exciting. It is the sauce that makes this Crying Tiger (without it, this is simply grilled beef, or nuea yang), and it’s normally served with steamed Sticky Rice, though it’s also good with Jasmine Rice.

Cook the steaks on a charcoal or gas grill on high, or on an oiled stovetop grill pan over medium-heat heat, to medium-rare, about 140°F on an instant-read meat thermometer, 5 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness of steak and cook- ing method.

Remove from the heat, cover with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

Slice the meat against the grain into thick strips, and serve with the dipping sauce and rice.
