Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g beef sirloin steak
- 200 g mixed salad greens
- 200 g cherry tomatoes
- 1 large cucumber
- 1 small red onion
- 15 g fresh cilantro
- 15 g fresh mint
- 2 pieces Thai bird’s eye chili
- 4 tbsp lime juice
- 3 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp palm sugar
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Season the beef sirloin steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. Allow it to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until your desired doneness is achieved. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
While the steak is cooking and resting, prepare the vegetables. Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber into thin rounds, and thinly slice the red onion.
Chop the fresh cilantro and mint leaves. For a milder heat, deseed the Thai bird’s eye chilies before finely slicing; otherwise, slice them whole for more spice.
In a small bowl, mix together the lime juice, fish sauce, and palm sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved to create the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, cilantro, and mint. Toss gently to mix.
Add the sliced beef and Thai chilies to the salad bowl.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to ensure everything is well coated.
Serve the Thai Style Beef Salad immediately as a light main course or side dish. Enjoy!
