- 1/2 teaspoon powdered hot red chilies
- 8 thin slices top sirloin

Instructions
Prepare a charcoal or other grill for cooking the meat. This should be done before starting to prepare the ingrediences. Thinly slice the cucumbers and radishes. Cut scallions into 1-inch lengths. Prepare all the greens as indicated and combine in a salad bowl. Brush meat with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill meat on both sides, about 2 minutes to a side or longer, depending on the desired degree of doneness. Quickly, while the meat is still hot, cut the slices into 1/2 inch strips and add them to the greens. If there are any accumulated meat juices, add them to the sauce. Pour the sauce over all and toss. Serve immediately with hot rice or long loaves of bread.
