Thai Noodle Salad With Sliced Beef

Thai Noodle Salad With Sliced Beef

I love this salad.  It is easy to make and not too heavy.

INGREDIENTS

12 Ounces of Boneless Rib Steak

1 ½ Tablespoons Fish Sauce

DRESSING FOR BEEF:

1 ½ Teaspoons Sesame Oil

1 Tablespoons Olive Oil

1 ½ Teaspoons Soy Sauce

SALAD:

6 Ounces Rice Vermicelli Noodles

½ Cup Mint Leaves

½ Cup Cilantro Leaves

10 Peeled & Thinly Sliced Asian Red Shallots

1 Teaspoon Chili Flakes (Dry Fried & Ground In Mortar & Pestle)

1 Tablespoon Palm Sugar

1 ½ Tablespoon Fish Sauce

2 Tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice

Mix the beef with the fish sauce and set aside.  Mix together the dressing ingredients for the beef.  Boil the noodles for 3 minutes.  Drain and run through cold water.  Toss the noodles with the salad ingredients.  Cook the beef on high heat for three minutes on each side.  Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.  Slice thinly and toss with some of the beef dressing.  Combine the ingredients for the noodle dressing and toss with the noodles.  Place noodles on a serving plate and top with beef strips.  Drizzle with the remaining beef dressing.  Serves 6
