# Instructions:

01 - Pound black peppercorns into a powder using a mortar and pestle. Add garlic and pound into a fine paste. Combine with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, lime juice, and oil, mixing well.
02 - Place steaks in a dish or a freezer bag. Coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Marinate for a minimum of 3 hours or up to overnight.
03 - Bring the steaks out 1 hour before grilling to prevent cold spots and ensure even cooking. Note: When pan-searing, avoid direct contact with hot oil by searing briefly before finishing in the oven.
04 - Grill steaks on high heat with the lid open for preferred doneness and achieve grill marks. Monitor closely to avoid overcooking.
05 - In a bowl, combine tamarind paste, fish sauce, lime juice, and palm sugar. Mix until sugar is mostly dissolved. Stir in shallots and chili flakes.
06 - In a dry skillet, toast jasmine or sticky rice over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until deep brown. Grind into a fine powder using mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder.
07 - Stir the sauce and dissolve any remaining sugar chunks. Mix in toasted rice powder and freshly chopped cilantro or mint.
08 - Serve grilled steak with sticky rice and Nam Jim Jeaw dipping sauce, preparing sides as desired.
