Ingredients

500g scotch fillet steak  

1½ tbsp fresh lime juice plus extra wedges, to serve 

1 garlic clove, crushed 

1 tbsp brown sugar  

1 tbsp fish sauce 

2 tsp sesame oil 

1 small butter lettuce, leaves torn 

200g cherry tomatoes, halved 

2 Lebanese cucumber, peeled into ribbons 

1 red onion, thinly sliced 

Your choice of herbs (mint, Thai basil, coriander leaves), to serve

Chopped toasted peanuts, to serve

Sliced chilli (optional), to serve

Method

  1. Whisk together lime juice, garlic, sugar, fish sauce and sesame oil in a jug. Place steak in a large snap lock bag. Drizzle with half the dressing. Place in fridge for 15 mins to develop the flavours, if time allows.
  2. Preheat a chargrill pan or barbecue over high heat. Cook steak for 2–3 mins each side for medium-rare or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate covered loosely with foil for 5 mins to rest.
  3. Place lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion and your choice of herbs in a large bowl. Thinly slice steak across grain and add to salad. Drizzle with remaining dressing and gently toss to combine. Divide salad among bowls, sprinkle with peanuts and chilli, if using, and serve with lime wedges.

Top Tips

  • The longer you marinate the beef the more flavour it will develop – but 15 mins will be fine for a mid-week meal.
  • For a more filling meal, add rice vermicelli noodles to the salad or serve with steamed rice
  • Rump, eye fillet or porterhouse steak would also be delicious in this recipe.
