3 fresh cilantro sprigs
3/4 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons fish sauce (see note)
1 pound thinly sliced Italian-seasoned deli roast beef, cut into strips
Boston lettuce leaves
1/4 cup chopped cocktail peanuts
4 green onions, diagonally sliced

What to Do

Process first 7 ingredients in a food processor until blended.

Notes

If you can't find fish sauce in the Asian section of your supermarket, substitute 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon water. And, when seeding jalapenos, it's best to wear rubber gloves. The seeds and veins in the pepper are hot and can burn your hands- and your eyes, too.
