Nam thok, which means “waterfall,” typically refers to the juices that drip from a marbled steak—like a waterfall—when preparing this dish. To achieve exactly what this dish describes, I’m using a beautiful cut of New York strip steak. A rib eye would work well here, too. When you pair this sliced steak with the rest of the salad components—which include fish sauce, lime juice, chiles, and plenty of herbs—you’ll never want steak any other way again. Worcestershire what? A.1. who?
