Thai Beef Salad is a refreshing, spicy, and tangy dish made with grilled beef, crisp vegetables, and a bold, zesty dressing. Perfect for warm-weather meals or a light, healthy option anytime.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz beef steak (sirloin, flank, or ribeye), grilled or seared
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens or shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup Thai basil (optional)
  • 1 red chili or Thai bird’s eye chili, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp brown sugar or palm sugar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Grill or pan-sear the beef to medium-rare or preferred doneness. Let rest before slicing thinly against the grain.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and minced garlic to make the dressing. Add sliced chili if desired.
  3. In a large bowl, toss together salad greens, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and fresh herbs.
  4. Add the sliced beef to the salad.
  5. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything to coat.
  6. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a heartier version, add thin rice noodles or serve with sticky rice.
  • Grilled shrimp can be substituted for beef for a seafood twist.
  • Use green mango or papaya for extra texture and tang.
  • Store components separately and mix just before serving.
