Instructions
1
Peanut Sauce: In a small pot, combine A.1. Original Sauce, distilled vinegar, brown sugar, creamy peanut butter, salt, and water. Stir over low heat until well combined and the sugar has dissolved. Set aside to cool.
2
Rare Ribeye Steak: Marinate the ribeye steaks in A.1. Original Sauce, distilled vinegar, and salt for at least 15 minutes. This enhances the flavor and tenderness of the meat.
3
While the steak marinates, create the slaw by mixing grated carrots, julienned cucumbers, remaining distilled vinegar, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
4
Heat a skillet over high heat and cook the marinated ribeye steaks for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, achieving a perfect rare doneness. Let the steaks rest for a few minutes, then slice into 1/4-inch thick strips.
5
To prepare the spring rolls, pour warm water into an 8-inch pie pan. Dip one rice paper round in the water for a few seconds until soft and pliable. Lay the rice paper flat on a work surface.
6
Position two slices of cooked ribeye steak about 2 inches from the top of the rice paper. Add two slices of avocado on top of the steak, followed by a handful of fresh spinach leaves. Finally, spoon some of the carrot and cucumber slaw over the spinach.
7
To roll the spring roll, gently fold the bottom edge of the rice paper over the fillings, then fold in the right and left sides, creating a neat packet. Continue rolling it up tightly until fully enclosed.
8
Repeat the process for the remaining rice paper rounds and fillings.
9
Serve the fresh spring rolls with the A.1. peanut dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy the explosion of flavors!
