Thai Beef Salad

 
Type of Dish: Main
Serves:
4
Prep Time:
20 min
Marinating Time:
Cooking Time:
10 min
Primary Ingredient:
Beef
Best Suited for: Weeknight dinners

This poor dish has been bastardised by more baggy-arsed 'chefs' than most others that you can think of. At its best it is a rich (the steak), lively, beautifully balanced dish- the classic Thai hot/sour/sweet/salty. At its worst, it is anonymous vaguely Asian nothingness. Buy the real ingredients and try to make the Real McCoy.
