Ingredients

For The Beef Marinade:

  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 garlic clove , peeled and minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

For The Salad:

  • 2 beef sirloin steaks about 1 lb or 450g total, trimmed of fat
  • 4 oz. (115g) dried rice noodles
  • 2 large handfuls of mixed salad leaves of your choice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes , halved
  • a handful of fresh basil leaves , torn
  • a handful of fresh coriander leaves , torn
  • 1/2 red onion , peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 small fresh red chilli , thinly sliced

For The Dressing:

  • 3 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1 teaspoon caster sugar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • For the marinade: combine soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, garlic, olive oil, lime juice and pepper in a large zip-lock plastic bag and mix well. Add beef, seal bag and marinate in the fridge for as long as you can, at least 30 minutes, turning the bag occasionally.
  • Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat until hot. Cook steak for 3 minutes each side for medium rare or until cooked to your liking. The beef should still be pink in the center (or to taste). Transfer to a plate, cover and leave to rest for several minutes.
  • Prepare the noodles according to package directions. Then drain and set aside.
  • Combine the dressing ingredients together and mix until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Evenly divide the noodles, salads, tomatoes, basil, coriander, red onion and chilli into four plates. Cut the cooked steak into thin slices on the diagonal and top over vegetables. Drizzle over the dressing and mix together well. Serve immediately.
