Thai Beef Salad
I'm probably completely biased, but I think that Asian salads are the best in the world. I love them because they are interesting and the dressings are then good.
The chances of me ordering a salad as a dish (not a side) at any restaurant other than an Asian one is almost zero.
However, at Asian restaurants, there is a proficient prospect of it happening!!
My favourite part is the zingy, fresh, potent flavoured dressings used in Asian salads. No mayo, no foam, no cheese, far less oil. Just pure fresh flavours – oftentimes with plenty of fresh chilli heat in it. I honey it!
Along with Green Papaya Salad, I think Thai Beef Salad is probably ane of the amend known Asian salads. I swallow it yr round, pelting, hail or shine, and information technology'due south one of my favourite ways to apply a practiced slice of steak because a little bit goes a long way.
I don't know about where you live, only fifty-fifty though Commonwealth of australia is cattle land, beef is the nigh expensive protein and a skillful steaks cost $xl+ per kg (that'south $twenty+ per pound).
For a Thai Beef salad for 2, you really only need around 7 to 8 oz / 200 – 250g of adept quality steak. Cook it to your liking…..I won't say information technology's a sacrilege to cook quality beef more than medium rare but… OK, I can't resist, I have to say it. I think it's a crime to cook quality beef beyond medium rare!!!!!
What goes in Thai Beef Salad
Hither's what yous need.
Theunique thing well-nigh this recipe is the use of coriander/cilantro stems in the Dressing. The flavor it adds is terrific – and authentic!
In Thailand, the roots are traditionally used but in Western countries, coriander usually isn't sold with long roots similar it is in Thailand so it'south a total hurting to get enough to brand this Dressing.
Using the stalk is a terrific fall back!
How to make Thai Beefiness Salad
The Dressing is the star hither, and the key to getting truly great flavor in it is to grind upwards the coriander/cilantro stems, chilli and garlic in a mortar and pestle to form a paste before mixing in the other Dressing ingredients.
Simply don't worry if yous don't accept a mortar and pestle – you can finely mince the ingredients then milkshake the Dressing up in a jar!
The Dressing is the key
The dressing for this salad is the star, and it'southward based on a recipe from this cookbook by Suet Saenkham, the genius Thai native behind the critically acclaimed Spice I Am restaurants in Sydney.
Spice I Am is said to be one of THE best Thai restaurants outside of Thailand. Everything I have tried from the cookbook is simply so incredible, a pace upwardly from the run-of-the-mill Thai takeouts.
I adapted the dressing recipe a wee flake because I must admit I found the original recipe a piddlingtoo strong flavored, which is saying something for me because I actually like potent flavours! But the base recipe is the aforementioned.

1. Chilli - 1/2 tsp volition be mildly spicy, one tsp volition exist decently spicy but not accident-your-head off. For balmy, 1/4 tsp.
Can sub with other chilli of choice, or employ chilli paste.
two. Steak - whatsoever expert steak suited to grilling. Sirloin, boneless rib eye, porterhouse, scotch fillet or rump steak, flank, flat iron (my personal favourite).
Call up: the steak will proceed cooking when resting! And remember: you tin cook a steak a bit more if needed but yous tin can't UNCOOK steak!
Cutting the beefiness against the grain produces the most tender slices. To practise this, expect at the piece of steak and you will notice that almost of the fibres are going in ane management. Plough the steak so the fibres are going left to right directly in front of you. Then cutting beyond the fibres - i.due east. 90 degrees perpendicular to the direction of the fibres.
