Cuisine: Thai
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin, sliced
- 4 cups mixed greens
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili paste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 lb of beef sirloin, 4 cups of mixed greens, 1/2 cup of cherry tomatoes (halved), 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, and 1 tablespoon of chili paste.
- Prepare the beef sirloin by slicing it into thin strips. Ensure the slices are uniform to allow for even cooking.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced beef sirloin to the pan.
- Cook the beef for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until it is browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of about 130°F (54°C).
- While the beef is cooking, prepare the salad base. In a large mixing bowl, combine the 4 cups of mixed greens, 1/2 cup of halved cherry tomatoes, and 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, and 1 tablespoon of chili paste to create the dressing. Adjust the flavors to your preference, adding more lime juice for acidity or chili paste for heat.
- Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes. This helps retain the juices.
- After resting, add the cooked beef to the salad bowl with the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro.
- Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.
- Divide the salad into 4 serving plates or bowls. Optionally, garnish with additional cilantro or lime wedges for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Easy Low Carb Thai Beef Salad!
