Thaibeefsalad Recipes

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:

• 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:

• 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:

• Add butter or oil to a pan and place the pan over high heat. Cook the meat until the surface begins to caramelize, 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Continue cooking until the meat reaches the desired doneness. Let the meat rest on a cutting board.
• Meanwhile, crush the chiles and garlic with a mortar and pestle. Then, in a large bowl, combine the crushed garlic and chiles, lime juice, shrimp paste, remaining tablespoon sugar and remaining tablespoon fish sauce and mix until well combined. Thinly slice the cooled beef and toss with the dressing. Add the scallions, cucumbers and onions and toss to combine. Add the tomatoes, tossing carefully so they don't smash. Arrange the salad on a large plate, then top with the cilantro and serve with the lettuce either on the side or placed directly under the beef.

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.
