Directions
- 1) Wash and dry all produce; trim herbs and greens as needed.
- 2) Mince garlic and place it in a bowl; juice the lime into the bowl, then whisk in oil, brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, crushed red pepper, and black pepper to form the dressing.
- 3) Thinly slice shallots and add them to the dressing, tossing to coat and letting them mingle while you cook.
- 4) Preheat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet over medium-high heat and pat the steak dry; season with salt and pepper on all sides.
- 5) When the pan is hot, add a thin layer of oil and sear the steak, cooking 2–5 minutes per side for desired doneness; transfer to a plate and rest.
- 6) Slice cucumber and tomatoes; add them to the dressing along with the peeled, halved carrots; toss to coat.
- 7) Shave cilantro leaves and chop the mint; add to the bowl with the greens.
- 8) Roughly chop the peanuts and add to the dressing as a crunchy topping.
- 9) Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain, then toss the greens and the steak with the dressing; divide among plates and sprinkle with peanuts before serving.
Two tips
- Prep the herbs and vegetables while the steak rests to save time at plating.
- If you have extra mint or cilantro, toss a few more leaves into the salad for extra aroma and brightness.
