Preheat the broiler and position the rack about 3 inches from the
broiler element. Rub black pepper into meat. Set the meat on a
broiler pan and broil until medium-rare, about 3 minutes per side.
Transfer the meat to a plate and chill it in the refrigerator for 30
minutes or up to 4 hours. Slice the meat against the grain into very
thin slices. In a saucepan, combine beef or chicken stock, lime
juice, fish sauce, sugar and rice powder; bring to a boil over high
heat. When boiling, stir in the sliced beef, remove from the heat and
quickly stir to coat the meat with the dressing. Transfer to a bowl;
add mint, shallots, scallions and chiles and toss to mix. Line a
plate with lettuce leaves and mound the salad in the center, pouring
any extra dressing over the top. Serve with cabbage leaves and any
remaining lettuce leaves set out on an adjacent plate. 183 calories
