Hello everyone! I'm back in the kitchen today. As I mentioned, I'm relaxing at home these days and craving delicious homemade food, so I have to cook. Today's meal is special because I'm meeting up with a Thai friend for dinner. Therefore, I prepared steak to grill and make a spicy beef salad. And of course, it's a dish I want to share with everyone, including the ingredients and how to make it.
Ingredients
- Steak
- Cucumber
- Red onion
- Romaine lettuce or salad greens
- Celery leaves
- 1 tablespoon roasted rice powder
Ingredients for the dressing
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1-2 cloves of garlic
- 5-6 fresh chilies
- 1/2 teaspoon MSG
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing first by pounding the chilies and garlic together. Then season with fish sauce, lime juice, and MSG. Adjust the taste to your liking.
- Grilling the beef: Sprinkle a little salt on the beef to enhance the flavor, then grill it. You can also use oil or butter. Add rosemary for aroma, or omit as desired.
- Grill the beef until almost cooked or to your liking (we aim for medium rare). Then, cut the grilled beef into bite-sized pieces, ready for the salad.
- Mix the sliced beef with the salad dressing, then add the roasted rice powder (this adds aroma and enhances the flavor). Next, add the cucumber, red onion, tomato, and romaine lettuce.
- Mix everything together, taste, and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve immediately. It can be enjoyed as a snack or with sticky rice or regular rice. The flavor is spicy and sour, delicious, and nutritious due to the variety of vegetables.
And that's our recipe! Serve it with other dishes on the table, ready to enjoy with friends for a special meal. Anyone who wants a Thai-style beef salad can adapt or modify this recipe. I hope you enjoy my post. Thank you for following and have a great day!
