Thai Beef Salad with Lemongrass
Laura SharradIngredients:
- 200g steak – rump or scotch fillet
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
- Salt and black pepper
Dressing:
- 3 cloves garlic
- 4 birdseye chillies – more or less to taste
- 1 Tbsp fish sauce
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp palm sugar, grated (or white sugar)
- 1 ½ Tbsp fresh lemon juice
Salad:
- ½ cup Thai basil leaves
- 1 cup mint leaves
- 2 leaves sawtooth coriander, sliced
- ½ cup sliced cucumber – sliced in thin rounds then in half or quarter
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes
- ½ long red chilli, sliced
- ¼ cup red onion, sliced
- 2 kaffir lime leaves, finely sliced
- 1 Tbsp finely sliced lemongrass, separated (top/green end, as this is more tender)
To Finish:
- ½ cup spring onion finely sliced
- 1 cup coriander leaves
Method:
- Tenderise the steak using a meat mallet then rub with oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill steak on high heat (on a preheated bbq or griddle pan) approximately 2 minutes each side for medium rare. Remove the steak from heat and rest.
- While the steak is resting, make the dressing. Pound the garlic and chilli in a mortar and pestle. Add fish sauce, soy sauce, palm sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add lemon juice and mix.
- Slice the steak thinly – around 2-3mm, and place into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the dressing and toss.
- Add remaining ingredients and mix.
- Serve immediately.
