Ingredients
- 1 pound beef (I used sirloin but filet would also work well)
- 2 lime
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 8 cups lettuce roughly chopped, mixed
- 1 cup carrot shredded
- ½ cup red onion (sliced)
- 1 large tomato (cubed)
- 1 cucumber (peeled and thinly sliced)
- ½ cup cilantro (chopped)
- ¼ cup mint (chopped)
- ¼ cup basil (chopped)
Dressing
- ¼ cup soy sauce (low sodium)
- ¼ cup lime juice fresh
- ¼ cup fish sauce
- ¼ cup rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
- In a large plastic resealable bag, combine beef, lime juice, salt and pepper. Set aside for 30 minutes or longer to marinade.
- Preheat grill on High (or turn on broiler if cooking indoors.) Make salad dressing by combining soy sauce through brown sugar in a small glass bowl. Set aside.
- In a large salad bowl, combine greens, carrots, onion, cucumber, tomato and fresh herbs.
- Cook beef on hot grill about 6 minutes per side for medium rare (longer if you prefer.) When beef is done cooking, take off the grill and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Do not slice, poke or cut the beef until it has rested for 10 minutes.
- After meat has rested, thinly slice against the grain. Gently pour salad dressing around the edge of the salad bowl and toss together gently with tongs or your hands.
- Serve with sliced beef on top.
