Preparation

  1. Remove tough exterior leaves of cabbage; core it by cutting a cone-shape wedge out of the stem end. Shred cabbage into thin strips, and separate the strips by hand. Put in a colander, and toss with about 1 tablespoon salt and the onions or scallions. Let sit for at least an hour, preferably two, tossing occasionally, until cabbage wilts.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare a grill. Combine garlic, co chu karo, ginger, fish sauce and vinegar in a bowl. Grill steak for about 4 minutes to a side for medium rare (more time or less according to the degree of doneness you prefer), turning once. Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper as it cooks.
  3. Remove steak from grill, and let it rest. Squeeze as much liquid as you can out of the cabbage, and toss it with dressing. To serve, carve steak. Place a portion of cabbage on a plate, and top with slices of steak. Spoon a little dressing over steak, and serve.
