Thai Beef Salad Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 lb of beef fillet, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon of lime juice
• 1 tablespoon of fish sauce
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger, chopped
• 1 small cucumber
• 1 small red chilli, chopped
• 8 oz of mixed salad leaves
• 1 tablespoon of thai sweet chilli sauce

Cooking Instructions

Combine the lime juice, fish sauce, sweet chilli sauce, ginger and garlic in a small bowl and mix well. Dip the steak into the marinade to coat thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to develop the flavours.

Cook the beef in a hot frying pan or grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the meat is cooked to your liking. Allow the beef to cool down for a few minutes to release the juices.

Slice the beef thinly into bite size pieces.

To serve the thai beef salad, mix together the cucumber and salad leaves and place on a large platter or in a large bowl.  Top with noodles (optional) and slices of beef. Pour thai sweet chilli sauce over the salad and you have yourself a very good meal.
