Ingredients

• 200 grams Rice noodles
• 300 grams Beef sirloin steak
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 medium Red chili
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 150 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 20 grams Fresh cilantro
• 10 grams Fresh mint leaves
• 50 grams Roasted peanuts
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

Step 2

Season the beef sirloin steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Step 3

To prepare the dressing, mince the garlic and red chili finely. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, and red chili. Stir until the sugar dissolves and set aside.

Step 4

Prepare the vegetables: thinly slice the cucumber and red bell pepper, julienne the carrot, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Roughly chop the cilantro and mint leaves.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice noodles, sliced vegetables, and herbs. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to combine.

Step 6

Arrange the noodle salad on a serving platter. Top with the sliced beef and sprinkle roasted peanuts over the top.

Step 7

Serve the Thai Beef Noodle Salad immediately, garnished with extra cilantro or mint if desired.
