    Asian Beef Salad

    High in protein and awesomely gluten-free, this Asian Beef Salad makes a quick, light meal perfect for summer.

    There is everything to love about Asian-style salads. Packed with vibrant flavors, super refreshing and really low in fat, they make an ideal meal to enjoy on summer days, especially on busy ones.

    The key ingredient of this Asian Beef Salad is, of course, the meat.

    I've just recently tried  Belgian blue steak for the first time, and I was immediately hooked - I literally couldn't wait to have it again.

    So, I thought this simple, flavorful salad was the perfect occasion to showcase this high-quality, and protein-loaded meat. Bursting with flavors, this gluten-free Asian Beef Salad is ready in just 15 min and loaded with protein-rich beef, healthy veggies and fresh herbs - The perfect balanced meal to enjoy on a busy day!Another thing I love about this salad is the vibrant, tangy Thai-inspired dressing.

    No mayo, no cream or whatsoever required, but still packed with flavors, with a nice spicy kick to make everything even tastier.

    The salad ingredients are flexible – use whatever fresh veggies you have in the fridge, or simply go with the season and make as colorful as you want.

    I used mango, carrot, cucumber and fresh baby salad leaves, but purple cabbage, tomatoes, rocket leaves would work well too.

    Same goes to the herbs, I mixed in fresh mint leaves, and used basil leaves for the dressing, but if you like cilantro, why not throw a few leaves in?

    Bursting with flavors, this gluten-free Asian Beef Salad is ready in just 15 min and loaded with protein-rich beef, healthy veggies and fresh herbs - The perfect balanced meal to enjoy on a busy day!

    Ingredients

    For the dressing:

    • ¼ teaspoon red chili pepper, finely chopped
    • 1 garlic clove, finely minced
    • 1 tbs fresh ginger, finely grated
    • pinch of sea salt
    • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
    • 2 tablespoon lime juice
    • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
    • 1 tablespoon mirin
    • 1 tablespoon extra virgin oil
    • 4-5 fresh basil leaves, finely minced

    For the salad:

    • 200 g 2-inch high Rump Steak, or another good quality beef steak at room temperature
    • a glug of extra virgin olive oil
    • sea salt to taste
    • 1 medium carrot
    • 1 medium cucumber
    • ½ mango
    • ½ small red onion, very thinly sliced
    • 120 g fresh baby salad leaves
    • a small bunch of fresh mint leaves
    • 1 tablespoon roasted peanuts, finely chopped

    Instructions

    • For the dressing: simply whisk all the ingredients together in a small jar. Adjust with salt and pepper to your taste.
    • For the meat: brush the steak with a glug of extra-virgin olive oil and season with a generous pinch of sea salt on both sides. Place the steak on a hot grill (or cast iron skillet). For medium-rare, cook for 2.5 minutes on each side, turning the meat every minute.
    • Remove the steak from the grill and allow to rest on a hot plate for about 2 minutes, then cut into slices.
    • Whilst the steak cooks, prepare the salad. Peel and finely slice into ribbons the carrot, cucumber and mango. Then, finely slice the onion.
    • To assemble your salad, arrange a bunch of fresh baby salad leaves in a bowl, top with carrot, cucumber and mango ribbons, sliced onion, and fresh mint. Add the sliced meat and chopped peanuts, and mix all together.
    • Divide your salad among two plates and serve immediately with the prepared Asian-style dressing on the side.

      The secret on a delicious salad is the unique dressings. And salad is seems the universal form of communication, most of us live it!

      We have been doing a lot of meal portions and freezing leftovers, and trying to cut out wasting so much. The money you can save is phenomenal! Your salad looks amazing! I am grabbing a list to make my family some!

      Salad looks delicious. I need to look at frozen foods more. I like that they take longer to expire. We don't do a lot of cooking in the summer.

      Such great tips about food waste. It's something I'm mindful of every day. I especially loved the tip about organizing the fridge. How often do I buy something at the store only to come home and realize I already had it way in the back behind the milk. ps: The salad is amazing! Colorful, healthy, and easy enough for a weeknight meal. x

      I love how you threw this together! I am a big advocate of waste no want not. We meal plan and eat leftovers until we are sick of them... but I am always looking for recipies that reinvent the leftovers. Great job

      The fish sauce in the dressing is such a great touch. It's a little too hot to cook in my kitchen but this I got to try.
