Description
This Easy Thai Steak Salad recipe combines tender, marinated sirloin steak with fresh, crisp vegetables and a tangy, flavorful dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Thai red chili pepper, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 8 ounces sirloin steak (2 smaller steaks or one piece)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons lime zest (from about 1 lime)
- 4 cups chopped lettuce
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced in long strips
- ½ English cucumber, sliced
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
- ¼ cup chopped mint
- 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, molasses, minced ginger, garlic, chopped Thai red chili pepper, and lime juice until well combined.
- Pour the marinade into a ziplock bag, add the sirloin steak, seal the bag, and toss to coat the meat evenly. Refrigerate and let the steak marinate for 2 to 4 hours or overnight for more intense flavor.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime zest until the dressing is smooth and well blended.
- Preheat your grill to high heat, about 450°F to 500°F. Place the marinated steak on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness, or adjust the time to your preferred doneness.
- Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes to retain juices. Then slice the steak thinly against the grain into strips.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, sliced red bell pepper, cucumber, mint, and cilantro. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to coat evenly.
- Arrange the tossed salad on a serving platter, place the sliced steak on top, and sprinkle with chopped peanuts for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Marinating the steak longer enhances the flavor.
- Adjust the chili for desired heat level.
- Chopped peanuts add a nice crunch but are optional.
