Bangkok Beef Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Rub the steak with 1 tsp oil and season. Fry in a hot pan for 2-2½ mins each side (depending on thickness), for medium rare. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 5 mins.
• Make the dressing by mixing the lime juice, chilli, sugar and remaining oil in a bowl. Set aside until the sugar dissolves.
• Divide the salad leaves, beansprouts and grapes between 2 serving bowls. Thinly slice the steak and add the juices to the dressing. Drizzle this over the salads, toss with the sliced beef and serve immediately with rice, if you like.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the green onions, lemon grass, cilantro, mint leaves, lime juice, fish sauce, chili sauce and sugar until well combined and the sugar is dissolved. Adjust the flavor, if desired, by adding more sugar and/or fish sauce. Set aside.
• Cook the steak over high heat on a preheated grill for approximately 4-6 minutes on each side, until it is cooked medium. Do not overcook the meat! Remove from heat and slice into thin strips. Add the meat and its juices to the sauce and refrigerate, tightly covered, for at least 3 hours.
• Tear the lettuce into bite size pieces and place in a salad bowl. Arrange the cucumber on top of the lettuce, and then pour the meat and sauce over. Top with the cherry tomatoes and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.

Steps:

• Heat a heavy skillet over high heat; add raw rice; cook, stirring, and shaking pan, for 3 minutes, or until golden.
• Cool rice slightly; blend to a coarse powder in a blender or spice mill.
• Stir-fry meat, shallots, and garlic till meat is browned; drain off all excess fat.
• Stir in rice powder, lemon juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, mint, sugar, and cayenne pepper.
• Mound meat in the center of serving tray; arrange romaine leaves and bean sprouts on either side of meat.
• Garnish with bell peppers, mint sprigs, and chili slivers.
• Serve with additional soy sauce or fish sauce, if desired.
• To eat, use romaine leaves to scoop up the meat, top with sprouts, peppers, mint, and any extra sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler, with a rack positioned so that the meat will be 3 to 4 inches (7.5 to 10 cm) from the heat. Line the bottom of a broiler pan with foil for easier clean-up, if you like, then top with the broiler rack. Put the meat on the broiler rack, lightly coat with the oil, and season with salt and pepper. Broil the meat for 5 to 7 minutes per side for medium-rare (err on the side of caution with the time; you can always cook it more). Transfer to a cutting board, sprinkle with salt, and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, mint, and cilantro.*
• Cut the meat against the grain into very thin slices and add to the bowl. (If the meat is still hot, wait a few minutes until it is warm or it will wilt the lettuce and herbs.) Drizzle the salad with just enough Chile-Lime Sauce to lightly coat and gently toss together. Top with the peanuts, if you like.
• Make Ahead
• Prepare to *, then cover and refrigerate the lettuce mixture and the unsliced meat separately for up to 1 day. The meat can be sliced and added to the salad cold or you can warm it in a 300°F (150°C) oven, if you prefer.
• Staggered
• If the salad will be served within 1 hour or so, cover the lettuce mixture and meat separately and leave them on the counter. People can help themselves and then toss their individual portions with the dressing.
