Thai-Inspired Steak Salad recipes

On a very warm summer evening, a salad that's a meal makes a lot of sense. This steak salad, inspired by the flavors of Thailand, is one of my favorites.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound flank steak

• 3 Tbsp.lime juice

• 3 Tbsp. white soy sauce

• 3 Tbsp. oil (grapeseed or avocado oil works best)

• 1 Tbsp. fish sauce

• 2 Tbsp. brown sugar

• 2 tsp. minced garlic

• 2 tsp. minced ginger

• 1 1/4 tsp. red curry paste

• 5-6 cups leaf lettuce

• 1/2 cup shallots, thinly sliced

• 1/2 cup cilantro leaves

• 1 cup Thai basil leaves

Directions:

In a medium bowl combine 1 tablespoon of the lime juice, soy sauce, oil, brown sugar, garlic, ginger and red curry paste.

Score the flank steak with a sharp knife several times on each side and place in a sealable plastic bag. Pour half the mixture into the bag with the meat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice along with 1 Tbsp. of fish sauce. Turn the bag several times to completely coat the meat.

Marinate meat in refrigerator at least 2 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. Place the rest of the mixture in a sealable container and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Grill the marinated steak until medium-rare, about 5 minutes per side, and allow it to rest until room temperature. Slice thinly against the grain.

Toss lettuce, sliced shallot, cilantro, basil and beef in a salad bowl with the reserved dressing and serve.
