Thai Lime 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:

• 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:

• 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:

• Prepare outdoor grill. Season steak with salt and pepper, place on grill, and cook for about 5 minutes, turn and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more, or until meat is cooked rare. Remove from heat and let rest.
• In large bowl, toss together the greens, cilantro, and mint leaves.
• Cut meat across the grain and arrange slices on top of greens.
• Spoon 1/4 of the sauce over each portion, garnish with mint leave and a lime wedge and serve immediately.
• For sauce combine garlic, chiles, fish sauce, lime juice and sugar in small bowl.
