Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Red chili, finely sliced
- 4 cups Romaine or butter lettuce, chopped
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.25 cup Crushed peanuts
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and sliced red chili to create the marinade/dressing.
Place the flank steak in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over it. Reserve the other half for the salad dressing. Let the steak marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour, in the refrigerator.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Brush the pan with olive oil.
Remove the steak from the marinade (discard the marinade used for the steak) and season with salt and pepper. Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for a medium-rare finish, or adjust to your desired level of doneness.
Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
In a large salad bowl, combine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, mint leaves, and cilantro leaves.
Add the reserved marinade (not the one used for meat) as the salad dressing and toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
Arrange the sliced steak on top of the salad and sprinkle with crushed peanuts for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, flavorful Thai Steak Salad!
