Step 1

Finely mince the white part of a lemongrass stalk and combine with paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Cut steak into 1-inch chunks.

Step 3

Evenly coat the steak cubes with the dry seasoning.

Step 4

Finely cut chives, white part of a scallion, and mince garlic.

Step 5

In a heavy-bottom pan over medium-high heat, sear the steak until it reaches your desired doneness. Turn down the heat and add a knob of butter, scallion whites, and garlic. Baste the steak cubes in the butter and add a splash of fish sauce. Turn the heat off and add chives.(Optional) add some vegetables in the pan so soak up the residual butter.

Step 6

Top over some rice. Garnish with a lime wedge and lime zest.
