Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams beef sirloin steak
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1.5 tablespoons fish sauce (paleo-compliant)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for slight sweetness)
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 unit red chili, finely chopped
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 unit cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely sliced
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Season the beef sirloin steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness.
Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together coconut aminos, fish sauce, lime juice, honey (if using), minced garlic, and chopped red chili.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cucumber slices, cherry tomato halves, red onion, chopped cilantro, and mint leaves.
Add the sliced steak to the salad bowl and toss gently to combine.
Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad and toss again to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy this healthy and flavorful Paleo Thai Beef Salad!
