Directions

Step 1

Season the beef steak with salt, black pepper, and vegetable oil. Let it sit for 10 minutes at room temperature.

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, grill the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness.

Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain and set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by mixing fish sauce, lime juice, palm sugar, and chopped bird's eye chili. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Step 5

In a large salad bowl, combine sliced shallots, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, mint leaves, cilantro leaves, green onions, and salad greens.

Step 6

Add the sliced grilled beef to the salad bowl.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are well coated.

Step 8

Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with additional herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
