Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 Tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 3 Tbsp vegetable oil (I used canola)
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 2 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
  • 1 lb top sirloin steak (or any cut you like)
  • vegetable oil
  • 8 large leaves of red leaf lettuce (rough chopped)
  • 2 small Persian cucumbers (thinly sliced (don't peel))
  • about 1/2 a small red onion (sliced paper thin (I used a mandolin))
  • a handful of fresh basil leaves (thinly shred them if they are large)
  • a handful of fresh cilantro leaves
  • a handful of fresh mint leaves
  • 2 small hot red peppers (thinly sliced, seeds and all)
  • 1/3 cup peanuts (chopped)

Instruction

  • Whisk the dressing ingredients together and set aside.
  • Heat a skillet or grill pan over high heat until very hot. Brush the steak lightly with oil on both sides and grill for about 3 minutes per side for rare, or until it's done the way you like it.
  • Set the steak on a plate and cover with foil, let it rest for 10 minutes. Then slice it very thinly across the grain with a sharp knife.
  • Arrange the lettuce across the bottom of a platter. Top with the cucumbers and onion slices, separating the rings as you scatter them around.
  • Next add the steak and fresh herbs. Scatter the hot pepper rings over the top, along with the peanuts.
  • Drizzle the dressing liberally over all, and serve immediately.
