Thai beef salad

This tasty Thai beef salad is delicious, quick, and relatively cheap.

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

• 1 large piece rump steak (or half a kilo of mince if you're stretched)
• Salad veggies (I use a bag of ready-mixed, plus what I have in the fridge)
• ⅓ cup toasted seeds or peanuts

Dressing

• ⅓ cupolive oil
• 2-3 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp honey, or golden syrup, or soft brown sugar
• 1 dessertspoon fish sauce
• ⅓ cup good soy sauce (I use Pearl River)
• ⅓ cup lemon or lime juice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• ½ tsp chilli flakes (adjust to taste)

Method:

1. Assemble salad ingredients in a bowl.

2. Mix dressing ingredients together and set aside.

3. Panfry the steak (or mince) to your taste, and slice in strips.

4. Add to salad ingredients, add dressing, toss and serve.

NOTE: To make this recipe go further, boil the kettle and cook some noodles while the meat is cooking. Add to the whole salad and toss, or serve the salad on top of the noodles.
