Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 teaspoons Brown sugar
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Thai red chili, finely chopped
- 1 Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 small Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 4 cups Romaine or mixed greens
- 0.25 cup Peanuts, roughly chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, and chopped chili to make the marinade and dressing.
Place the flank steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour half the marinade over the steak, reserving the other half for the dressing. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the steak from the marinade and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin slices.
While the steak is resting, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, mint, and mixed greens.
Drizzle the reserved dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly.
Arrange the sliced beef on top of the prepared salad. Garnish with chopped peanuts if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Thai Beef Salad!
