Thai Beef Salad

Ingredients

• Beef sirloin (1 lb, thinly sliced)
• Lettuce (4 cups, torn into bite-sized pieces)
• Cucumber (1 large, sliced)
• Cherry tomatoes (1 cup, halved)
• Red onion (1 small, thinly sliced)
• Fresh mint (1/4 cup, chopped)
• Fresh cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped)
• Roasted peanuts (1/3 cup, chopped)
• Red chili pepper (1, finely chopped (adjust to taste))
• Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• Brown sugar (1 tablespoon)
• Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
• Fish sauce (1 tablespoon)
• Lime (1, juiced)

Instructions

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. Season the beef sirloin with salt and pepper. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
3. In a large bowl, combine the torn lettuce, sliced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, chopped cilantro, and chopped mint.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and finely chopped red chili pepper until the sugar dissolves and the dressing is well combined.
5. Add the sliced beef to the salad bowl, then pour the dressing over the top. Toss gently to combine all ingredients, ensuring the dressing coats everything evenly.
6. Sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts over the salad as a crunchy topping. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor.
