Thai-Inspired Steak Salad

 

Thai-Inspired Steak Salad

This robust is so delicious iwth the crunchy slaw, peanuts, and mint. We topped it with just a few slices of steak but you can use seafood, tofu, or poultry, too!

  • 6 oz sirloin steak (grass fed)
  • 2 cups cabbage (shredded)
  • 1 cup carrots (grated)
  • 1 tablespoon ginger root (grated)
  • 1/4 each bell pepper (red or green cut in strips)
  • 1/2 each jalapeno (seeded and diced)
  • 2 teaspoons oil (canola or olive oil)
  • 1 each limes (juice)
  • 1/4 cup peanuts (roasted unsalted)
  • 1 tablespoon mint leaves
  1. Cook the steak on the stove in a pan or on the BBQ grill to your desired temperature. For medium to medium rare it usually takes about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat, allow to "rest" for 5 minutes, then cut in slices.

  2. Meanwhile, make the salad. Toss the cabbage, carrots, ginger, pepper strips, oil, and lime juice together. Divide between two bowls.

  3. Top the salad with the steak strips, peanuts, jalapeno slices, and mint leaves. Serve immediately. You can easily add brown rice or a baked potato for a more hearty meal.

We chose a sirloin steak because it was on sale in our store. Keep an eye on store specials for protein and choose your favorite. By just using a few slices you can easily share one piece of protein between several people. Enjoy!
