Thai Beef Salad

This is such an easy recipe but one of my favourites. Great for the summer. Adjust the amounts as you prefer

Serves 4

Beef (one huge rump or two small sirloins)
Lettuce (cut in strips)
4 Spring onions or shallot (cut in strips)
1 Cucumber (cored and diced)
4 Tomato (diced)
1 Chilli (chopped)
Bunch Coriander chopped
Handful mint chopped
toasted rice (optional)
Dressing (adjust as preferred)
Fish sauce (2tsp)
Sugar (1tsp)
Lime juice (1 lime)

Grill the steak to your liking and then cut into strips. Throw the steak in with the salad ingredients then toss with the dressing.
Garnish with the coriander and mint and sprinke some toasted rice.
Simple as that. Try a spicy red with this dish such as a cabernet sauvignon or a german white beer- schneider weisse.
