Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pound rib-eye steak
- salt
- vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 2 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 small head lettuce
- 1/2 cup mint leaves
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
- 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 medium red onion, thinly sliced
Directions
- Season the steak with salt and set aside. Heat a gas or charcoal grill over high heat until very hot. Brush the steak with oil, and grill to desired doneness, 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar.
- Tear the lettuce into bite-size pieces, and place in a large mixing bowl. Roughly tear the mint and cilantro and add to the bowl. Add the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion.
- Trim away any excess fat from the steak, and thinly slice it across the grain. Pour the accumulated juices into the dressing, and mix. Drizzle 4 tablespoons of dressing over the lettuce mixture, and toss. Add more dressing if needed.
- Divide the salad between 4 plates, and top each with sliced steak. Drizzle a little more dressing over the steak before serving.
