  • 1 stalk Lemongrass
  • 1 teaspoon Red Chili Flakes
  • 1/4 cup Toasted Rice Powder

Instructions

  1. Sear the Steak: Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Season your steak with salt and pepper, and add it to the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until done to your liking. Let it rest before slicing thinly against the grain.
  2. Prepare the Aromatics: Finely chop the garlic and slice the jalapeno, removing seeds. Chop shallots.
  3. Chop the Veggies: Chop lettuce into bite-sized pieces, halve cherry tomatoes, and slice cucumber into strips.
  4. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, chopped lemongrass, and red chili flakes. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, add lettuce, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, jalapenos, and shallots. Toss in fresh mint and cilantro. Pour dressing over salad and toss gently.
  6. Top the salad with sliced steak and sprinkle with toasted rice powder.
  7. Serve & Enjoy: Plate the salad and garnish with mint leaves. Dive in and savor the flavors!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days, keeping dressing separate.
