Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin steak
• 4 cups mixed greens
• 1 large cucumber
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 0.5 cup fresh mint leaves
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 medium red chili
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by marinating the beef. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, and 0.25 teaspoon of ground black pepper.

Step 2

Place the beef sirloin steak in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the steak is completely coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the steak is marinating, prepare the salad ingredients. Thinly slice the cucumber and red onion. Halve the cherry tomatoes.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed greens, cucumber slices, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, cilantro leaves, and mint leaves.

Step 5

For the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, 3 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Thinly slice the red chili and add it to the dressing. Mix until the sugar dissolves.

Step 6

Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Remove the steak from the marinade and cook it in the preheated pan for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

Step 8

Once cooked, transfer the steak to a plate and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Step 9

Add the sliced beef to the salad bowl with the vegetables.

Step 10

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together gently.

Step 11

Divide the salad into serving bowls and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious and refreshing Thai Beef Salad!
