This is one of my favorite Thai dishes. It's so easy to make and the results are always delicious. I love the spicy and sour flavors of the dressing, and the beef is always so tender.

I'm always looking for new beef salad recipes, and this one is definitely a winner. The dressing is so flavorful and the beef is cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my yam neua turned out really tough. The beef was overcooked and the dressing was too sour. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover steak. I had some flank steak that I cooked the night before, and it worked perfectly in this salad. The flavors are simple but delicious.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. The flavors were great and the beef was cooked perfectly. I'll definitely try it again with less chili peppers.

I'm not usually a fan of beef salads, but this one is really good. The dressing is tangy and flavorful, and the beef is tender and juicy. I'll definitely be making this again.

This yam neua recipe is a keeper! The flavors are so well-balanced and the beef is cooked to perfection. I served it with sticky rice and a side of vegetables, and it was a hit with my family.
