Ingredients

  • 8 ounces sirloin beef steak
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Dressing:

  • 1-2 thai chili pepper minced fine (depending on how spicy you want the dressing)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil

Salad:

  • 1 small bunch fresh cilantro stems removed, rough chopped
  • ½ cup fresh mint leaves rough chopped
  • 4 cups loosely packed fresh mixed greens
  • 1 cucumber sliced thin
  • 1 small red onion sliced thin
  • 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 tablespoon green onions sliced thin
  • 1 tablespoon peanuts crushed

Instructions

  • Assemble ingredients together before you begin.
  • First, you will cook the beef so that it has plenty of time to rest before serving. Start by heating a grill or skillet on high heat.
  • Season both sides of the beef with the salt, pepper, and olive oil.
  • Place the beef on the grill and grill each side for about 6 minutes. Flip the beef over and grill on the other side for another 6 minutes. The beef should be slightly charred and medium rare.
  • Remove the beef from the grill or pan and allow it to rest on a cutting board while you prep the other ingredients.
  • Now it’s time to make the salad dressing. Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and use a whisk to combine. Alternatively, you can shake them all together in a mason jar. It’s important here to taste your dressing and adjust based on your personal preference.
  • Toss the fresh herbs, salad greens, cucumber slices, onion slices, and halved tomatoes in a large bowl. Pour a small amount of the dressing on the greens and toss again to coat all of the ingredients. (Do not use all of the dressing, just a small amount to coat everything.)
  • Place the salad greens on two large plates.
  • It’s time to slice the beef. Using a sharp slicing knife, cut the beef against the grain into thin, bite-sized slices. Divide the beef into two servings and gently place on top of the greens.
  • Pour about a tablespoon of the dressing over each serving of the beef on the salad. Garnish with the sliced onions and peanuts.
  • Serve immediately.
