Thai Beef Pasta Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk sesame oil, vegetable oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, fish sauce, chili-garlic sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar, and sugar for dressing together in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
• Drain pasta, rinse with cold water, and return to the pot. Drizzle dressing over the pasta, stir gently to combine. Add peas, carrots, bell pepper, green onions, cilantro, peanuts, and red pepper flakes; stir until well combined.
• Serve at room temperature with lime wedges, or chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour or longer.

Steps:

• Rinse and pat the meat dry. Place in a sealable plastic bag or small glass dish. In a medium bowl combine 1 tablespoon of the lime juice, soy sauce, canola oil, brown sugar, garlic, ginger and red curry paste. Pour half the mixture into the bag with the meat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice to the bag. Seal tightly, and marinate meat in refrigerator at least 4 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. Reserve the rest of the mixture refrigerated, to dress the salad.
• Spray grill or grill pan with cooking spray and preheat. Grill steak until medium-rare, about 5 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness. Let rest until room temperature then slice thinly against the grain.
• Combine lettuce, sliced shallot, cilantro, basil and beef in a salad bowl, reserving a few shallots for garnish. Add the reserved dressing and toss to coat. Divide salad among 4 plates and garnish with reserved sliced shallots.

Steps:

• Rub the steak with 1 tsp oil and season. Fry in a hot pan for 2-2½ mins each side (depending on thickness), for medium rare. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 5 mins.
• Make the dressing by mixing the lime juice, chilli, sugar and remaining oil in a bowl. Set aside until the sugar dissolves.
• Divide the salad leaves, beansprouts and grapes between 2 serving bowls. Thinly slice the steak and add the juices to the dressing. Drizzle this over the salads, toss with the sliced beef and serve immediately with rice, if you like.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Make dressing: Whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, chile, and sugar in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Stir in cilantro and mint. Set aside. Toss together scallions, shallots, cucumbers, and arugula in a large bowl; set aside.
• Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. Sprinkle steak all over with salt; season with pepper. Brown steak, turning once, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer skillet to oven; cook steak to desired doneness, about 6 minutes for medium-rare.
• Transfer steak to a cutting board, and let stand at least 5 minutes. Cut steak across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• Add steak to salad. Drizzle with dressing, and toss. Sprinkle with peanuts.

Steps:

• Mix all the dressing ingredients, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. In a large bowl, toss the cucumber and mooli with half the dressing.
• Rub the steak with the oil and season on both sides. Heat a frying pan until it is searing hot. Fry the steak for 2-3 mins each side for medium rare. Transfer to a plate to rest.
• To assemble the salad, pile the vegetables onto plates and mix with the beansprouts and coriander. Top with the steak and remaining dressing.

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. Lightly season the steaks, then grill on each side for 2-3 mins for medium-rare, or longer if you like. Mix the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar and chilli together in a jug. Tip the salad, carrot and beansprouts into a bowl, then add the dressing, tossing everything together. Divide between four plates.
• Thinly slice the beef and add to the salad. Some steamed rice flavoured with rice vinegar is a good side dish.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the green onions, lemon grass, cilantro, mint leaves, lime juice, fish sauce, chili sauce and sugar until well combined and the sugar is dissolved. Adjust the flavor, if desired, by adding more sugar and/or fish sauce. Set aside.
• Cook the steak over high heat on a preheated grill for approximately 4-6 minutes on each side, until it is cooked medium. Do not overcook the meat! Remove from heat and slice into thin strips. Add the meat and its juices to the sauce and refrigerate, tightly covered, for at least 3 hours.
• Tear the lettuce into bite size pieces and place in a salad bowl. Arrange the cucumber on top of the lettuce, and then pour the meat and sauce over. Top with the cherry tomatoes and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
