A Thai salad is often a great choice when we feel like we want something "different." The combination of fresh mint, cilantro, and fish sauce give this Thai Beef Salad a really fresh and exotic set of flavors and aromas. This is another Cooking Light recipe from myrecipes.com.
I made this dish once before and it turned out well. Tonight's version was probably a little better than the first time because I marinated the steak a little longer and I used New York Strip instead of flank steak. I also added rice noodles to the salad which makes the meal more filling. Its a little too light without the extra calories added by the rice noodels.
When I grilled the Tandoori chicken the other night, I banked all the coals in my charcoal grill around the outside of the grill which seemed to create a more optimal grill temp in the center of the grill. I did that with the steak for the Thai salad tonight and it worked well with the steak cooked almost perfectly on the inside and just a little charring on the outside. I think I can do even better with the grilling if I continue to work on it. I realize now, after the last two meals, that I have been putting way too much heat on the meat.
