THAI BEEF SALAD ( 4 peoples )


Ingredients :

  • 90ml Filippo Berio Mild & Light Olive Oil
  • 2 x 225g sirloin steaks, trimmed
  • 3 tomatoes, deseeded and sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1 cucumber, deseeded and sliced into sticks
  • 100g beansprouts
  • 1 long thin red chilli, deseeded and sliced
  • 3 tbsp chopped fresh mint
  • Juice 1 lime
  • 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce




Instructions :

1. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan. Add the steak and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning once until brown on the outside and medium rare inside. Set aside.
2. Place the tomatoes, onion, cucumber, beansprouts, chilli and mint in a large bowl, add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
3. Thinly slice the steak. Divide the salad between four serving plates; spoon dressing into a small dish. Top each salad with the slices of steak. Serve immediately.

Cook's note :

Take the steak out of the fridge half an hour before cooking - this will make it much more tender when cooked. Brush with olive oil, season and cook as instructed.
