Tips:
- Marinate the Beef: Allow the beef to marinate in a mixture of sesame oil, fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
- Soak Wooden Skewers: If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- Uniform Beef Pieces: Cut the beef into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Chop Salad Ingredients Fresh: For the best flavor and texture, chop the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and chili peppers right before assembling the salad.
- Taste and Adjust: Adjust the seasoning of the salad dressing by adding more lime juice, fish sauce, or brown sugar to taste.
