Thai Beef Salad

Thai Beef Salad

I think this Thai Beef Salad might just be my new favourite salad! I was in the mood for something light and healthy, quick and easy to make and packed full of flavour. The weather was warm and a salad of sorts was really all I felt like eating.  It had been a while since I’d had a Thai Beef salad and decided it was long overdue. And boy was I happy that I cooked it!

It was fresh and delicious and oh so satisfying. Packed full of flavours and textures that just made my mouth sing. And so quick and easy to prepare. It was exactly what I was looking for. And I suspect while the weather is warm we will be eating it a lot!

It’s one of those wonderfully flexible salads as well. As long as you have the zingy chilli herb dressing then you can pretty much put whatever you like into the salad. Mix up the salad ingredients based on what you like or have in the fridge and it will still be delicious. The ingredients below keep it super healthy, but adding avocado or toasted peanuts add in extra textures and flavours that complement the salad so well. And there is always room for extra chilli, depending on your preference!

Thai Beef Salad

Ingredients

600g lean rump steak
Salt & pepper
1/2 - 1 red onion
1 Lebanese cucumber
1 carrot
1 red capsicum
1 punnet baby tomatoes
1 baby cos lettuce
Coriander leaves and mint, about 1 cup of each, loosely packed
2 cloves garlic
1-2 red chillies, coarsely chopped
A good handful of coriander leaves and stalks
Sesame oil, few drops
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1-2 limes, juice only (about 3-4 tablespoons)
1-2 tablespoon water

Instructions

1
Remove the beef from the fridge and trim of all fat. Season with a little salt and pepper. Heat a griddle pan or bbq to very hot. Cook beef a couple of minutes on each side, keeping it medium rare. Remove from heat and cover with foil and allow to rest while preparing the salad.
2
For the dressing, combine the garlic, chilli, coriander stalks & leaves, sesame oil, fish sauce, lime juice and water in a food processor and blitz until it resembles a chunky sauce. Taste and add more lime juice if needed.
3
Prepare all the vegetables for the salad and place into a large bowl. Thinly slice the onion, cucumber and red capsicum, ribbon the carrot with a peeler and shred the lettuce. Cut the tomatoes in half or quarters depending on size. Roughly tear the mint and coriander leaves. Spoon over about half the dressing and toss well. Divide between four bowls or plates.
4
Thinly slice the rested beef across the grain and divide equally between the four salads. Spoon the remaining dressing over each salad.
5
Note: additional chilli can be added to the dressing or salad if you like it hotter. Avocado and / or toasted peanuts can also be added to the salad if desired.
