Hi everyone welcome back.
Today I’m sharing with you a recipe for Thai Beef Salad.
It’s an incredibly fresh tasting salad filled with noodles, vegetables, herbs and steak.
So lets get started.
The first thing I’m starting with is the steak because after it has finished cooking
it will need to rest.
I’ve got a piece of sirloin steak but you could use any type you would prefer or even
switch it out for a different meat.
I’m trimming off the large amounts of fat so it can just be sliced up after its cooked.
Coat the steak in oil and salt and pepper.
Turn the steak over and rub it into the chopping board to coat both sides evenly.
When cooking steak it works much better to oil the steak instead of the pan.
Place it into an extremely hot griddle pan.
Depending on how you want your steak cooked turn it after about 2 minutes.
When the steak is cooked to your liking remove it from the pan.
Place it on a chopping board to rest while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
I’m using egg noodles and they take about 10 minutes to cook so I’m going to start
them now so they should be ready when everything else is finished.
Cook your noodles according to the package instructions.
For this salad you can use any of your favourite vegetables.
I tend to use whatever I have in the fridge at the time so today I’m going to be using
carrot cucumber snow peas and spinach.
Cut up your vegetables in different ways like using a vegetable peeler for the carrots.
This creates a lot more texture and makes the salad look a lot more interesting.
The best thing about this salad is its fresh taste, for this you need to use fresh herbs.
I’m using basil, coriander, and mint, about a handful of each.
Don’t try and skip out on the herbs because they do have such an impact on taste.
Give them a quick chop and add them to the bowl, toss everything together.
The dressing for this salad is incredibly simple, only three ingredients, sweet chilli
sauce, lime juice and a little soy sauce.
I don’t have an exact amount for these, it’s more of a case of add some of each
and give it a taste until you get your desired taste.
Mix the sauce together until it is well combined.
By this time your noodles should be cooked so we’re ready to plate.
Place the noodles on the plate first and follow up by topping them with everything else.
The vegetables, the steak and finally drizzle on the dressing.
An optional extra is some crushed peanuts.
They add great taste and texture.
This is a great weeknight meal that doesn’t take very long to make.
It’s delicious and also full of vegetables.
If you make this don’t forget to tag me in a photo.
Thank you for watching and I’ll see you in my next video.
