Thai Beef Salad (Yam Nuea)

Ingredients

• 1 lb Beef Steak (Sirloin or Flank)
• 4 tbsp Lime Juice
• 2 tbsp Fish Sauce (Red Boat brand)
• 1 tbsp Palm Sugar (or Brown Sugar)
• 1/2 Red Onion
• 1 Cucumber
• 2 Tomato
• 1/4 cup Mint Leaves
• 1/4 cup Cilantro
• 1 Thai Chili Peppers

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). Place the 1 lb Beef Steak on the hot grill. Grill for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C). Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. After resting, slice the 1 lb Beef Steak thinly against the grain into bite-sized pieces.
2. 2While the steak is resting, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the 4 tbsp Lime Juice, 2 tbsp Fish Sauce, and 1 tbsp Palm Sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
3. 3Prepare the salad vegetables. Slice the 1/2 Red Onion thinly. Slice the 1 Cucumber into thin rounds. Slice the 2 Tomato into wedges.
4. 4In a large bowl, combine the sliced beef, the sliced 1/2 Red Onion, the sliced 1 Cucumber, the sliced 2 Tomato, the 1/4 cup Mint Leaves, and the 1/4 cup Cilantro.
5. 5Pour the prepared dressing over the ingredients in the large bowl. Gently toss everything together to coat evenly. Finely chop the 1 Thai Chili Peppers and add them to the salad for desired spice level, tossing once more to distribute.
