Beef And Lime Rice Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In large bowl, beat Dressing ingredients with whisk. Add carrots, onion and cucumber; toss to thoroughly coat vegetables. Cover; set aside.
• In large bowl, place noodles. Pour enough boiling water over noodles to cover; stir to break apart noodles. Let stand 5 to 7 minutes, stirring noodles occasionally with tongs until tender. Divide noodles among 4 serving bowls.
• Set oven control to broil. Line broiler pan or cookie sheet with foil; spray with cooking spray. Rub steak with vegetable oil, then Chinese five-spice powder. Place on pan. Broil with top 6 inches from heat 5 to 6 minutes on each side, until cooked to desired doneness (140°F for medium). Transfer steak to cutting board, cover with foil; let rest 5 minutes.
• Using tongs or slotted spoon, divide vegetables among 4 bowls with noodles. Toss salad greens in remaining dressing, and transfer to bowls with noodles and vegetables.
• Thinly slice beef diagonally against the grain, then cut into bite-size pieces and place on top of salad. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cook beef in a saucepan over medium high heat, stirring until it crumbles and is no longer pink. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Wipe pan clean.
• Add 3 cups water, salt, and cumin to saucepan. Bring to a boil, add rice, cover, reduce heat, and cook 20-25 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Stir in beef, lime rind, and lime juice. Serve salad with desired toppings.

Steps:

• Marinate the beef:
• In a blender blend together the garlic, the fish sauce, the sesame oil, the sugar, and the salt, in a shallow dish pour the marinade over the steak, turning the steak to coat it well, and let the steak marinate, covered and chilled, for 4 hours or overnight.
• Make the sauce:
• In the blender blend together the water, the garlic, the fish sauce, the lime juice, the sugar, and the red pepper flakes.
• In a large bowl soak the noodles in warm water to cover for 5 minutes and drain them. In a kettle of salted boiling water cook the noodles for 5 minutes and drain them in a colander. Rinse the noodles well under cold water and drain them well.
• Grill the steak, discarding the marinade, on an oiled rack set 4 to 5 inches over glowing coals or broil it under a preheated broiler about 3 to 4 inches from the heat for 8 to 10 minutes on each side, or until it is springy to the touch, for medium-rare meat. Transfer the steak to a cutting board, let it stand for 10 minutes, and holding a knife at a 45-degree angle slice it thin.
• Divide the cucumber, the lettuce, and the herbs among 8 large plates, mixing them, and mound the noodles over the mixture on each plate. Arrange the steak decoratively over the noodles and sprinkle it with the peanuts. Spoon some of the sauce over each plate and serve the remaining sauce separately.
