Ingredients

Servings: 6

4–6 thick beef steaks (e.g. sirloin or rump steak; 150-200 g each)
7-10 Tbsp a few dashes + 2 teaspoons fish sauce (Nam pla from the Asian shop)
7-10 Tbsp salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 TABLESPOON Oil
3 Minigurken or 1 cucumber, cut into small sticks
1 small red onion, halved and cut into fine rings
4 spring onions, cut into fine slices
24 Cocktail tomatoes, halved
40 Mint leaves, chopped
4 TABLESPOONS Coriander leaves, chopped
160 ml sweet chilli sauce (bottle)
7-10 Tbsp peel of 2 organic limes and 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

Directions

1
Rub the steaks with a little fish sauce, salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are cooked to the desired degree.
2
Remove the meat from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes, then cut it into thin slices across the fibre, catching the meat juice. If you prepare the salad in advance, cut the steaks just before serving.
3
Mix steak slices and meat juice in a serving bowl with cucumber, onion rings, spring onions, tomatoes and herbs.
4
Mix the chilli sauce with the lime zest, lime juice and 2 teaspoons of fish sauce and dress the salad with it. If it is to be served as a main course, steamed rice is suitable as a side dish.
