Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 350 grams Beef sirloin steak
- 150 grams Mixed salad greens
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 150 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 small Red onion
- 10 grams Fresh mint leaves
- 10 grams Fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 small Red chili (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Take the beef sirloin steak out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.
Season the steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the steak and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or cook to your desired doneness.
Remove the steak from the skillet, tent it with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes.
While the steak rests, prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice the cucumber and red onion, halve the cherry tomatoes, and roughly chop the mint and cilantro leaves.
In a small bowl, whisk together fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, finely sliced red chili (if using), and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to make the dressing.
Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, mint, and cilantro.
Toss the salad with the prepared dressing until evenly coated.
Arrange the salad on serving plates and top each plate with slices of steak.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vietnamese style steak salad!
