Cuisine: Thai
Serves: 4
Ingredients
SALAD DRESSING
The juice of 2 medium limes
4 tablespoons fish sauce (I like the Three Crabs brand)
4 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt (omit if the fish sauce is salty enough for you)
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 hot chili peppers, diced, optional
SALAD GREENS
1½ pound flank steak
Salt and pepper, to season the steak
4 tablespoons vegetable oil, for the grill pan
2 English cucumbers, sliced
8 cups mixed salad greens
2 small carrots, julienned
1 bunch cilantro, stems removed
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
Any other salad vegetables you like
Instructions
Make the Dressing
Place all of the ingredients for the dressing in a small mixing bowl or measuring cup. Whisk together until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
Grill the Meat
Season the meat on both sides with salt and pepper. Place a grill pan over medium heat. Add the oil to the heated pan then cook the meat for 10 minutes on each side. Once the meat is done, set it aside to rest before slicing. After resting for about 15 minutes, thinly slice the meat against the grain.
Make the Salad
Layer the cucumbers, salad greens, carrots, cilantro, and any other vegetables you like in a small salad bowl or plate.
Add the thinly sliced beef to the top of the salad.
Drizzle some salad dressing over the beef and salad greens.
Serve and enjoy!
