Ingredients

  • Beef:
  • 2 well-marbled New York strip steaks
  • Black pepper
  • 3 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • For the Dressing and Salad:
  • 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 3 tbsp fish sauce
  • 2 tsp ground Thai chili powder
  • 2 tbsp Toasted Rice (see recipe)
  • 6 fresh mint leaves, sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 10 grape tomatoes, halved

Directions

  1. Cook the beef: Season the steaks generously with black pepper and roll in the soy sauce to coat.

  2. In a cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over high heat until smoking. Add the steaks and sear until medium-rare, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove to a plate, let rest for 10 minutes, then thinly slice against the grain.

  3. Make the dressing and salad: In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, fish sauce, and chili powder. Add the beef, toasted rice, mint, cilantro, scallions and tomatoes and toss to coat. Serve immediately, with hot pepper sauce and steamed rice.
