In a medium saucepan, combine rice, 1 cup each of water and coconut milk, and 1 teaspoon each of sugar and salt; bring to a boil. Cover and cook over low until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 17-20 minutes. Keep covered until ready to serve.

Zest lime and squeeze 3 teaspoons lime juice, keeping separate. Cut remainder of lime into wedges. Pick cilantro leaves from stems; finely chop stems and set leaves aside in a damp paper towel.

Finely grate ½ teaspoon garlic. Thinly slice jalapeño. Halve red onion and thinly slice ⅓ cup (save rest for own use). Coarsely chop peanuts.

In a medium bowl, combine cilantro stems, garlic, lime juice, half of the zest, 3 teaspoons fish sauce, 2 tablespoons oil, and 1½ teaspoons sugar; season with salt and pepper and add sliced onion and jalapeños; toss to coat.

Using a vegetable peeler, peel strips of cucumber and add to bowl with dressing.

Wait to toss cucumbers in dressing until right before serving.

Pat steaks dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium high. Add steaks and cook until browned and medium rare, 2-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate to rest.

Reduce skillet heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons water, bringing to a simmer and scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan. Add lemongrass spice, 1 teaspoon curry paste, and ¼ cup remaining coconut milk. Bring to a simmer; add 1½ teaspoons sugar and 1 teaspoon vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Fluff rice with a fork, stir in remaining lime zest, and transfer to plates. Toss cucumbers in dressing, add to plates alongside rice, and top with peanuts.

Thinly slice steaks and place over rice.

Spoon lemongrass sauce over top of steaks and garnish with cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lime, if desired. Enjoy!
