Thai Beef Salad Recipes

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.

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:

• 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:

• Brush the beef with a little oil and char-grill, barbecue, or pan-fry till cooked to your liking.
• (I recommend medium rare for this recipe, if you can handle a little blood.) Set aside for five minutes and slice it thinly.
• Place salad greens, onions, kaffir lime leaves, chili, cilantro, mint and basil into a salad bowl and toss lightly.
• To make the dressing, combine the soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice and sugar.
• Stir the dressing well.
• Place the beef on the salad and pour over the dressing.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler, with a rack positioned so that the meat will be 3 to 4 inches (7.5 to 10 cm) from the heat. Line the bottom of a broiler pan with foil for easier clean-up, if you like, then top with the broiler rack. Put the meat on the broiler rack, lightly coat with the oil, and season with salt and pepper. Broil the meat for 5 to 7 minutes per side for medium-rare (err on the side of caution with the time; you can always cook it more). Transfer to a cutting board, sprinkle with salt, and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, mint, and cilantro.*
• Cut the meat against the grain into very thin slices and add to the bowl. (If the meat is still hot, wait a few minutes until it is warm or it will wilt the lettuce and herbs.) Drizzle the salad with just enough Chile-Lime Sauce to lightly coat and gently toss together. Top with the peanuts, if you like.
• Make Ahead
• Prepare to *, then cover and refrigerate the lettuce mixture and the unsliced meat separately for up to 1 day. The meat can be sliced and added to the salad cold or you can warm it in a 300°F (150°C) oven, if you prefer.
• Staggered
• If the salad will be served within 1 hour or so, cover the lettuce mixture and meat separately and leave them on the counter. People can help themselves and then toss their individual portions with the dressing.

Steps:

• To make the Dressing: Mix together all the ingredients and chill.
• To make the Salad: Mix together all the ingredients (except the sesame seeds) in a large bowl. Just before serving, toss the dressing with the salad and top with the sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal grill or preheat the oven broiler to high.
• Rub the beef with the oil and set aside.
• Combine the lime juice, fish sauce and garlic and set aside.
• Cut off the stems of the fresh coriander. Set the tender leaves aside. Chop the stems finely and add them to the lime juice mixture. Add the hot red-pepper flakes.
• Put the lettuce leaves, scallions, cucumber rounds, tomato wedges and red onions in a salad bowl.
• Put the meat on the hot grill or under the broiler and grill or broil to the rare stage.
• When the meat is cooked to the desired degree of doneness, place it while it is still hot on a board and slice it as thinly as possible. Add the hot meat to the salad bowl. Stir the sauce well and pour it over all. Toss to blend, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat grill or broiler.
• Combine lime juice, fresh cilantro, brown sugar, Thai fish sauce, chili paste and garlic; stir until sugar dissolves.
• RESERVE half of this mixture for use later.
• Combine other half of lime mixture and steak in a large zip-loc bag.
• Seal and marinate in refrigerator for about 10 minutes, turning once.
• Remove steak from bag; DISCARD MARINADE.
• Place steak on grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray; cook 6 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness.
• Let stand 5 minutes.
• Cut steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices.
• Combine tomatoes, onions, lettuce, cucumber and mint in large bowl; toss gently to combine.
• Divide salad evenly among 6 plates.
• Top each serving with about 3 ounces of steak, drizzle each serving with RESERVED lime mixture.

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high heat.
• Beat steak sauce, peanut butter and lime juice with wire whisk until well blended. Pour 1/3 cup of the steak sauce mixture into large resealable plastic bag. Add steak; seal bag. Turn bag over several times to evenly coat steak. Refrigerate 30 min. to marinate. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade.
• Grill steak 13 to 16 min. for medium-rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally and brushing with the reserved steak sauce mixture. Remove steak from grill; cover with foil to keep warm. Let stand 10 min.
• Cut steak across the grain into thin slices; set aside. Toss greens, vegetables, bean sprouts and dressing in large bowl; divide evenly among 4 serving plates. Top with the steak.
