A super healthy Thai Beef Salad full of big flavours. Leafy greens, BBQ steak, noodles, peanuts and a delicious Thai style dressing.
Thai Beef Salad is one of those amazing meals that tastes incredible and is also really healthy. The fresh flavours of the mint and cucumber go so well with the salty peanuts, tender steak and tangy dressing.
I've used affordable rump steak for this recipe but you can use any cut of grilling steak. Cook the meat to the preference of you and your guests. I like to cook mine medium rare. I have served this on a large platter so it is perfect to feed a crowd or take along to a pot luck dinner / barbecue.
How to make Thai Beef Salad:
To start, cook the seasoned steak on a BBQ for 2-4 minutes each side, then set aside. Cook the rice noodles according to the packet instructions. Whisk all the dressing ingredients together in a small jug then refrigerate.
Chop all the vegetables, then slice the steak into thin strips. On a large serving platter or dish, layer the salad starting with mesclun leaves and rice noodles. Scatter over sugar snaps, red onion, bean sprouts, cucumber and red pepper.
Finish with a scattering of fresh mint leaves, strips of sliced steak and peanuts. Drizzle over the dressing just before serving.

Common questions about Thai Beef Salad:
