Char-grilled beef salad
INGREDIENTS

500g beef rump steak
¼ cup (60ml) fish sauce
¼ cup (60ml) lime juice
3 lebanese cucumbers (390g), seeded, sliced thinly
4 fresh small red thai chillies, sliced thinly
8 green onions, sliced thinly
250g cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 cup loosely packed fresh vietnamese mint leaves
1 cup loosely packed fresh coriander leaves
1 tablespoon grated palm sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 clove garlic, crushed
METHOD

Combine beef with 2 tablespoons of the fish sauce and 1 tablespoon of the juice in large bowl; cover, refrigerate 3 hours or overnight.

Drain beef; discard marinade. Cook beef on heated, oiled grill plate (or grill or barbecue) until browned and cooked as desired. Cover beef, stand 5 minutes; slice thinly.

Meanwhile, combine cucumber, chilli, onion, tomato and herbs in large bowl. Combine remaining fish sauce and remaining juice with sugar, soy sauce and garlic in screw-top jar; shake well.

Add beef and dressing to salad; toss gently.

tips
Substitute brown sugar for the palm sugar, if desired. The salad dressing can be made a day ahead and kept, covered, in the refrigerator
