1 lb (454 g) beef flap or flank steak, cut into 4 pieces
1/4 cup (60 ml) soy sauce
1 tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup
1 tbsp (15 ml) rice vinegar
1 tsp (5 ml) hot pepper or jalapeño sauce
PEANUT SAUCE
2 tbsp (30 ml) peanut butter
1 tbsp (15 ml) soy sauce
1 tbsp (15 ml) water
GARNISHES
4 large flour tortillas (25-cm/10-inch)
1/2 cucumber, peeled, seeded and cut into thin sticks
1 cup (75 g) bean sprouts
2 tbsp (30 ml) coarsely chopped roasted peanuts
Cilantro leaves
Preparation
MARINATED BEEF
In a non-reactive bowl, combine all the ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours or more.
In a grill pan or on a gas grill over medium-high heat, grill the meat on both sides until done to your liking (rare or medium rare will be more tender). Let cool. Slice thinly across the grain.
PEANUT SAUCE
In a bowl, combine all the ingredients. Microwave on high for about 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Let cool.
ASSEMBLY
Place the tortillas on a work surface. Brush with the sauce. Arrange the beef, cucumbers, sprouts, peanuts and cilantro leaves on the tortilla, leaving a 2.5-cm (1-inch) border. Fold and wrap.
