My interest in Mediterranean food inspired this beet salad recipe-the vinegar and oil dressing with fresh mint will tone down the sweetness of the beets, and the kalamata olives add a salty touch. -Barbara Estabrook, Appleton, Wisconsin

STEAK SALAD WITH FISH SAUCE AND MINT



Steak Salad With Fish Sauce and Mint image

This salad, with Southeast Asian flair, takes mere minutes to make, even with cooking the beef. Its base is mesclun and a handful of flavorful, mild herbs, like parsley or mint. Because steak doesn't need any seasoning, cooking it takes only 10 minutes. You could substitute chicken, pork or shrimp. The vinaigrette that accompanies this salad is light but assertive, based not on olive oil but on a neutral-flavored oil like canola. I use relatively little oil, as its job is only to help the remaining dressing ingredients coat the greens. To this I add rice vinegar or lime juice, both of which are high in flavor but low in acidity. The vinaigrette is rounded off with mustard, shallots, and nam pla (Thai fish sauce) or soy sauce.

Categories     easy, quick, weekday, times classics, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 to 1 1/2 pounds thick sirloin, rib-eye or other boneless steak
6 to 8 cups mesclun greens
1 cup mint leaves
1/4 cup neutral oil, like canola
1/4 cup rice vinegar or lime juice
1 teaspoon mustard, optional
1 chopped shallot, about 1 tablespoon
2 tablespoons nam pla, or 1 tablespoon soy sauce mixed with 1 tablespoon water
1/4 teaspoon or more freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • If you're grilling, start a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill. Grill steak about 4 minutes a side for medium rare. (If you're cooking inside, preheat oven to its maximum, 450 to 500 degrees. Heat ovenproof skillet on stove over high heat until it smokes. Place steak in skillet, and transfer to oven. Roast about 4 minutes a side for medium rare.)
  • Meanwhile, wash greens and toss with mint. Whisk or blend remaining ingredients together, taste, and adjust seasoning.
  • Let steak rest for a minute before slicing, and then place it atop greens, with its juices. Dress with vinaigrette, and serve.

BEEF SALAD WITH MINT



Beef Salad with Mint image

A simple, bright, and light salad with tons of flavor. One of the best possible lunch dishes. See page 500 for information on fish sauces like nam pla.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 pound beef tenderloin or boneless sirloin
4 cups torn Boston or romaine lettuce, mesclun, or any mixture of salad greens
1 cup torn fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup minced red onion
1 medium cucumber, peeled if necessary, cut in half lengthwise, seeded (see page 169), and diced
Juice of 2 limes
1 tablespoon nam pla or soy sauce
1/8 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Start a charcoal or wood fire or preheat a gas grill or broiler; the rack should be about 4 inches from the heat source. Grill or broil the beef until medium-rare, 5 to 10 minutes; set it aside to cool.
  • Toss the lettuce with the mint, onion, and cucumber. Combine the remaining ingredients with 1 tablespoon water-the mixture will be thin-and toss the greens with this dressing. Transfer the greens to a platter, reserving the dressing.
  • Thinly slice the beef, reserving its juice; combine the juice with the remaining dressing. Lay the slices of beef over the salad, drizzle the dressing over all, and serve.

Tips

  • Choose the right cut of beef: For this salad, you'll want to use a tender cut of beef that can be cooked quickly and thinly sliced. Some good options include flank steak, skirt steak, or tenderloin.
  • Slice the beef against the grain: This will help the beef stay tender and juicy.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and oil will help it absorb flavor and stay moist.
  • Cook the beef over high heat: This will help to develop a nice crust on the outside of the beef while keeping the inside tender.
  • Let the beef rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the beef, making it more tender.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as mint, cilantro, and basil, will add a bright and flavorful touch to the salad.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way, so be careful not to overdress the salad, or it will become soggy.

Conclusion

Beef salad with mint is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef. The combination of tender beef, fresh herbs, and a tangy dressing is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this beef salad with mint a try. You won't be disappointed!
