Toast the sticky rice in a dry pan until lightly golden. Transfer to a mortar and pestle and grind into a coarse powder.
In the same mortar and pestle, pound together the shallot, garlic, cilantro, chili flakes, palm sugar, lime juice, tamarind paste, and vegan fish sauce until combined. Stir in the toasted rice powder.
Rub the flank steak with oil, salt, and black pepper.
