Instructions

In small bowl, combine vinegar, soy sauce, oil, brown sugar and red pepper flakes. Remove 1 tbsp (15 mL) to small bowl; stir in chili sauce. Spread over both sides of beef. Stir cilantro into remaining dressing.

Grill beef over medium-hot coals for about 10 minutes each side or until desired doneness. (Or broil under broiler.)

Meanwhile, cook vermicelli in boiling salted water for 8 minutes. Add broccoli and simmer 4 minutes longer. Drain. Heat dressing to boil in microwave or small saucepan.
