Thai Peppered Beef Salad

If like me you’ve made some new year’s resolutions to eat better & get healthy this year, then this lively & vibrant Thai Peppered Beef Salad with its lime garlicky dressing, tender beef slices, fresh herbs & lots of crisp veggies will help you feel good about what you’re eating. At least for this one meal.

Truth be told I shot this quickly today…I had burning eyelids because I’m total rubbish at following my own advice (wear gloves when chopping chilies boys & girls, especially if you’re a face toucher) & I was famished having not eaten since seven last night & it was now midday. It’s a pretty salad so it required very little fluffing from me.

I inhaled the salad, chili garnish & all. So then I had burning eyelids & my lips felt like they were three times their size. But I enjoyed the salad – hunger will do that to a person. Seriously though, it is a lovely salad. The mint & cilantro are the salad ‘greens’ if you’re one who insists a salad isn’t a salad without lettuce; tomatoes add a pop of crunch along with the small, crispy cucumbers – which also helped cool my mouth & lips. Had I not been cleaning-up the kitchen in a chili infused frenzy, I’d of laid down with some cucumber slices on my eyelids – freshly cut though, not from the salad. Just to clarify.

Have you made any new year’s resolutions? I have. In fact I have quite a lofty list. Doable though, it’s all doable. Tippy-top of my list is my health. Of course getting my health in order requires me losing weight. Quite a lot of weight. So I have set goals & devised plans…for a dream is just a wish without a plan. We have lots planned for this year my hubby & I, so we’re jumping into it all feet first. I hope 2019 brings you health & happiness. Stay focused, it is but day three.

Thai Peppered Beef Salad

Prep Time15 mins
Cook Time10 mins
Total Time25 mins
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Thai
Servings: 4

Ingredients

LIME DRESSING
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons grated palm sugar or brown sugar, optional
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
PEPPERED BEEF SALAD
  • a drizzle of olive oil or sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons coarse-ground pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 1/4 lbs boneless ribeye or sirloin beef steak grass fed if possible
  • 1/2 cup mint leaves
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves (coriander)
  • 4 small cucumbers, thinly sliced lengthways
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 6 green onions, trimmed & thinly sliced
  • 2 – 3 Thai (small) red chilies, thinly sliced lengthways

Instructions

To make the lime dressing:

  • Combine all ingredients in a small bowl, whisking until the sugar is dissolved; set aside. 

To make the salad:

  • Remove the steak from the fridge about 15 minutes or so before cooking. Preheat a grill pan or a barbecue grill to hot. Rub the steak with a little oil. Press the pepper & salt into the steak on both sides. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side depending on thickness of the steak & how you like your steak – time given is for medium-rare doneness. Remove steak to a cutting board & let sit for 10 minutes before cutting into thin slices against the grain. 
  • Toss herbs, cucumber, onion, tomato & green onion together with half the dressing. Arrange most of the salad on serving plates or a platter. Drizzle with remaining dressing & top with remaining salad & chili.

Our darling mum passed away last year. I hear her Our darling mum passed away last year. I hear her voice every day offering support & advice. One of my favourites is this simple ‘start how you want to finish’ advice. It was told to her when she decided she’d take care of her mum, my nan, at home when she became very ill & needed around the clock care. 
As a new year lies before us & we can make it anything we want. So go forth how you want to continue. For me that’s with intent, small reasonable goals, simplifying home & life where possible & taking care of myself both my mental & physical health. 
Last year was a fucker, this year I’m taking care of me. We are nothing without our health. 
Happy 2023 to those who’ve stuck around with me, especially during my absence over the last 12 months, & to the newcomers who’ve joined the Fresh Hunger community. Thank you for your support. I’ve got some fun, helpful projects coming your way I can’t wait to share with you all. L xo
