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.

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.

LARB (LAAB) THAI MEAT SALAD WITH MINT AND LEMONGRASS



Larb (Laab) Thai Meat Salad With Mint and Lemongrass image

I first had this dish when i lived in Port au Prince Haiti, a thai restaurant served it..i loved it and have kept looking for one that has the right spicing. It is a wonderful scented tasting heaven. Most of them have to few flavors but it needs enough of each herb. Of course people can change the amounts to their taste. Serve over rice or roll up in rice paper or lettuce rolls.

Categories     Meat

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/3 cup fish sauce (found in Asian markets or in the Ethnic aisle of most grocers)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons thai roasted chili paste
3/4 cup canned low sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 lbs ground chicken or 1 1/2 lbs pork
1 cup thinly sliced green onion
3/4 cup thinly sliced shallot
3 tablespoons minced fresh lemongrass (found in Asian Markets)
1 tablespoon thinly sliced Thai red chili peppers or 1 tablespoon serrano chili
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/3 cup chopped fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Combine the first four ingredients in a medium bowl. Save this sauce for later.
  • Simmer the broth in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken. Simmer until cooked through, breaking up any clumps of meat with a spoon, about 8 minutes. Add green onions, shallots, lemongrass and chillies. Stir until vegetables are tender and most of liquid has evaporated, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in sauce, cilantro and mint.
  • You can serve this salad as is with butter lettuce or use it as a filling for your fresh rolls.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Beef: Opt for tender cuts like flank steak, skirt steak, or sirloin steak. These cuts are flavorful and cook quickly, making them ideal for a salad.
  • Slice the Beef Thinly: Thinly sliced beef cooks more evenly and absorbs the marinade better. Aim for slices that are about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Marinate the Beef: Marinating the beef helps tenderize it and infuses it with flavor. Use a marinade made with soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar.
  • Cook the Beef Quickly: Cook the beef over high heat for a short amount of time. This will help keep it tender and juicy.
  • Assemble the Salad: Combine the cooked beef, vegetables, and herbs in a large bowl. Toss to combine.
  • Make the Dressing: Whisk together the fish sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and sugar. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
  • Serve Immediately: Thai beef salad is best served immediately. The flavors are brightest when the salad is fresh.

Conclusion:

Thai beef salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, making it a healthy and satisfying option. With its zesty dressing and tender beef, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
