Beef Salad With Mint Recipes

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in a pan of simmering water for 5 mins. Add the beans and cook 5 mins more, then tip in the peas and cook for 2 mins until all the vegetables are just tender. Drain.
• Meanwhile, measure all the dressing ingredients in a large bowl and season with black pepper. Stir and crush the herbs and capers with the back of a spoon to intensify their flavours.
• Brush a little oil over the steak and grind over some black pepper. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a high heat and cook the steak for 4 mins on one side and 2-3 mins on the other, depending on the thickness and how rare you like it. Transfer to a plate to rest while you carry on with the rest of the salad.
• Mix the warm vegetables into the dressing until well coated, then add the lettuce and toss again. Pile onto plates. Slice the steak and turn in any dressing left in the bowl, add to the salad and serve while still warm.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and chiles and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the steak and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Add the shallots and bell pepper and cook for 1 minute. Add the fish sauce, sweet soy sauce, black soy sauce and chili paste. Bring the mixture to a low simmer and cook, stirring frequently until the meat is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the basil and mint until wilted. Transfer to a serving dish and serve over steamed white rice.

Steps:

• Start a charcoal or wood fire or heat a gas grill or broiler. Rack should be about 4 inches from heat source. Grill or broil beef until medium rare, 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Toss greens with mint, onion and cucumber. Combine all remaining ingredients with 1 tablespoon water -- mixture will be thin -- and toss greens with this dressing. Remove greens to a platter, reserving dressing remaining at bottom of bowl.
• Slice cooled beef thinly, reserving its juice. Combine juice with leftover dressing. Lay slices of beef over salad, drizzle dressing all over, and serve.

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:

• 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.

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.
