Ingredients
Beef Marinade:

- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 ½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp Chili garlic sauce

- ½ tsp palm sugar

Salad Items:
- 1 head green leaf lettuce cut into pieces
- ½ cup cabbage finely shredded
- 10 leaves mint fresh
- 8 leaves Thai basil
- 1 carrot shredded

Peanut Lime Dressing:
- 1 ½ Tbsp vegetable oil

- ½ tsp tamarind paste
- 3 Tbsp peanuts unsalted, dry roasted, finely chopped

To prepare the dressing:
- In a small bowl place the vegetable oil, lime juice, fish sauce and rice vinegar and whisk to combine. Next, stir in the garlic sauce, tamarind paste and palm sugar. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
To cook the beef:
- Preheat the grill to high, temperature should be about 500' F. Put the meat on indirect heat. For nice grill marks grill for about 4 minutes. Give it a ¼ turn and grill for another 4 minutes. Flip it over and repeat. For this salad I like the meat to be medium well, which is about 160'-170'F. Place the meat on a cutting board, and cover with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for about 10 minutes.
To assemble the salad:
- Place chopped green leaf lettuce on a tray, and sprinkle in cabbage, mint, Thai basil, carrot, cilantro and red onion. Place the cut beef on top, and sprinkle with black and white sesame seeds, and chopped peanuts.Serve with dressing.
