For the marinade:

For the dipping sauce:

• 4 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• Sriracha sauce (optional, for heat)

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Beef:
   • In a bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey or brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the marinade.
   • Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade and toss to coat evenly.
   • Let the beef marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
2. Grill the Beef:
   • Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
   • Grill the marinated beef slices for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness.
   • Remove the beef from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice it into thin strips.
3. Prepare the Rice Paper Wrappers:
   • Fill a large bowl with warm water.
   • Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for a few seconds until it becomes soft and pliable.
   • Place the softened rice paper wrapper on a clean surface.
4. Assemble the Spring Rolls:
   • On the lower third of the rice paper wrapper, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a few strips of grilled beef, cucumber, carrot, red bell pepper, bean sprouts (if using), mint leaves, and cilantro leaves.
   • Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll it up tightly, starting from the bottom.
   • Repeat the process with the remaining rice paper wrappers and filling ingredients.
5. Prepare the Dipping Sauce:
   • In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, peanut butter, water, lime juice, and soy sauce until well combined. If desired, add a dash of sriracha sauce for some heat.
6. Serve:
   • Arrange the Grilled Beef Spring Rolls on a platter.
   • Serve them with the prepared dipping sauce on the side.
   • Optionally, sprinkle crushed peanuts over the spring rolls for added texture and flavor.
