Ingredients
Marinade
- ¼ cup soy sauce low sodium
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 tablespoon ginger minced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 Thai red chili pepper chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 8 ounce sirloin steak I used 2 smaller ones
Salad Dressing
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 Thai red chili pepper chopped
- 2 teaspoons lime zest or from 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Salad
- 4 cups lettuce chopped
- 1 red bell pepper sliced in long strips
- ½ English cucumber sliced
- ½ cup cilantro chopped
- ¼ cup mint chopped
- 2 tablespoons peanuts chopped (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl add all the marinade ingredients (minus steak) and whisk well.
- Pour the marinade in a ziploc bag, add steak and close the bag and toss around a bit. Place in the fridge and let the steak marinate for 2 to 4 hours or overnight. The longer it marinates the better it will taste.
- Prepare the dressing, by mixing all dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisking well.
- Preheat your grill to high heat, about 450°F to 500°F. Then, place the steak on the hot grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until the desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F for medium-rare, 135°F for medium, and 145°F for medium-well.
- Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing it against the grain into strips.
- In a large bowl toss the lettuce, pepper, cucumber, mint and cilantro together then pour the dressing over and toss well.
- Arrange the salad on a platter and place the sliced steak over the salad, then top with chopped peanuts.

Notes
- Choose a high-quality sirloin steak: The flavor and tenderness of your steak will greatly impact the overall taste of the salad. Look for a well-marbled cut, which will result in a more tender and juicy steak.
- Give the steak time to marinate: To maximize flavor, allow the steak to marinate for at least 2 to 4 hours. This will help the meat to absorb the delicious flavors of the marinade.
- Don't overcook the steak: To keep the steak tender and juicy, avoid overcooking it. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, aiming for 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare or 140-145°F (60-63°C) for medium.
- Let the steak rest: After cooking, allow the steak to rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute, resulting in a more tender and juicy steak.
- Customize the salad to your taste: Feel free to add or substitute ingredients in the salad to suit your preferences. You can add avocado, mango, or carrot for extra flavor and texture, or swap out the lettuce for other leafy greens like spinach or kale.
