Thai Beef Salad

1 Lb beef, thinly sliced (sukiyaki style)
1/2 C coarsely chopped mint leaves
1/4-1/2 cup of chopped cilantro
1/4 C finely chopped onion or shallots (I used green onion)
2 Green onions, coarsely chopped

Dressing
Juice of 1 lime
2 T. of fish sauce
1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper (I didn't use this)
1 Tb of chili Sauce (I used Sabul Olek, you could probably use Siracha or another asian chili sauce)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp of sweetener (I used splenda)


Garnishes (optional)
Chopped chilis (the sort that aren't too hot)
Chopped peanuts

The beef should be cut into 2x3 inch pieces. Although mine was a lot smaller right out of the package. Place the meat in a slotted spoon or small colander and dip it into boiling water for about 1 minute, medium rare. Allow meat to drain and cool.
You could also use cold leftover roast beef instead.

I put the meat into a zip lock bag with the dressing after cooking to marinade and laid it flat so the juices would soak into all the meat. I turned after awhile.

I ate mine with a few chopped cherry tomotoes. I think it'd also be good on cold, steamed broccoli florets tossed with seasame oil and maybe dressed with some toasted sesame seeds.

Absolutely fabulous!
