Thai Grilled Beef Salad Recipe

You are looking to escape from the usual meal and want to try something fresh, crunchy, wholesome but healthy. I would suggest a Grilled Beef Salad dressed with lime juice and fish sauce.
Make sure the beef you are using is of good quality. For best results, try to marinate the beef and grill it. The authentic type of charcoal grilling needs an outdoor space and a traditional grill. But don’t think that you cannot proceed if you lack enough space. With time things have become more simple and easy. I prefer to grill my steaks on an indoor grill pan. Just let your pan get very hot and then you can place your marinated steaks over it. Cover it with a lid. It becomes crisp on the outside and juicy and tender inside.  Now-a-days electric grills are also available, although charcoal gives a smokey flavour and aroma to the dish.

Now lets look at the things you need to prepare grilled beef salad.
For the dressing (chili and lime)
60 ml or one-fourth cup lime juice
1 tbsp. fish sauce

Ingredients

1 tbsp. chopped coriander root

2 tbsp. fresh coriander chopped

1 red chili

1 tbsp. peanut oil

1 clove crushed garlic

1 tbsp. white sugar

250 grams cherry tomatoes

600 grams of rump steak or sirloin

100 grams of Asian salad mix

4 tbsp. mint leaves

4 red or golden shallots thinly sliced

Procedure

1. Cook the steak on a barbecue or a pan until tender. You can also cook and keep your steak in the freezer in advance. This avoids the last minute rush if you are expecting some guests. Even if you are cooking for yourself, it becomes quicker.

2. Prepare the chili lime dressing. Combine both the ingredients, that is the fish sauce and the lime juice and mix well.

3. Combine the salad, herbs, shallot, tomatoes and two thirds or the dressing in a large bowl. Divide the tomatoes into half. Toss gently.

4. Now, put the steak on top and drizzle the remaining dressing over it.

Your grilled beef salad is ready to be served. Make sure that you use fresh vegetables, herbs and salads. Also remember to mix the salad ingredients just a few minutes before serving. You can grill the steak and also prepare the dressing in advance.
