3 cup water (875 ml)

AssemblyDirections
Beef1. Whisk together sesame oil, chile, lime juice, sugar, lemongrass, ginger and pepper in a small non-reactive bowl. Place flank steak into a shallow dish and cover with the marinade. Put in fridge and marinate over night. (If in a hurry, just use a tender cut like strip loin or tenderloin and only brush on marinade before grilling.)
2. Preheat a grill on high heat. Take beef out of marinade and season with salt. Grill beef to medium rare, 6-7 minutes per side for medium rare. Let rest for 5 minutes.
Steamed Rice1. Rinse rice before cooking.
2. Place rice, water and salt into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, place a tight fitting lid on and cook until all of the water has been absorbed, about 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and continue to steam for about 5 more minutes.
Bok Choy1. Heat sesame oil and vegetable oil in a wok. Add garlic slices and saut for about 1 minute. Add soy sauce and bok choy and stir fry until it begins to wilt.
Assembly1. Spoon some of the steamed rice onto a plate. Put some of the bok choy down next and then slice beef and lay on top of bok choy. Drizzle with some more of the dressing.
