Ingredients

• 400 g ribeye steak (or sirloin)
• 4 cups mixed salad greens
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
• 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 Thai chili, finely sliced (optional)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by seasoning the ribeye steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil to the pan.

Step 3

Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness (130°F/55°C for medium-rare). Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 4

While the steak is resting, prepare the salad by combining the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, cilantro leaves, and mint leaves in a large bowl.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and Thai chili if using. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.

Step 6

Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain.

Step 7

Arrange the salad on serving plates and top each portion with the sliced beef.

Step 8

Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat everything evenly.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Easy Thai Beef Salad!
