Broil the meat then slice into thin strips.
Mix meat and lettuce in a bowl.
Season to taste with fish sauce, fresh lime juice and pepper(Optional).

Thai Beef salad sounds real good, sounds like a job for a very sharp knife. Guess I'll have to ask Reaper where to get one.

I hear Gerber sells a real nice set of kitchen knives.

I'm not very good at knapping that stuff but have seen some incredible long blades made from it. Oregon Indians on the southern Oregon coast made obsidian blades long enough to filet Chinook salmon for drying. Hmmm, I'll have to make a trip to Glass Mountain in eastern Oregon, big obsidian source there.

You don't make it you buy it. Most super markets in the area sell it or you can find it at an oriental market. Go slow and season to taste. The lime juice overpowers the fish sauce. If you can smell it you have used too much.
BTW: Don't sniff it and don't spill it.

DOC T,
Look here, I do not tell you how to remove gallbladders and I do not need a backseat cookie maker soliciting cooking advice on my behalf.
Fish sauce and fish FUME are two entirely different things! If you are going to denigrate my culinary endeavors at least have the courtesy to get the facts correct.

"Culinary endeavors." Heh! Now that's an interesting expression if I've ever heard one.

As noted already, it is far easier to purchase than make. If you can't find any, let me know, I'll send some your way.

GH,
Thanks, but we have an ample supply of Nam Plaa right here in the Phoenix area. And Nam Plaa is not what Doc T is assuming I was attempting to create, it was fish fume.

okay...so it was fish fume...it was gross and ruined two perfectly good lobsters.
As for the fish sauce... he bought some at the store today just so I could have the pleasure of smelling it but after reading how they make the stuff I wouldn't dare...it is still sealed in the cabinet!
