This is salad is a triple threat with the most amazing marinade, dressing, and salad blend. A little bit sweet, sour, spicy, and salty with brightness from fresh herbs and crunch of peanuts. One of the best salads on earth.

Preparation
STEP 1

For the marinade, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, garlic, coriander, and white pepper. Toss with steak and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to overnight.

STEP 2

For the dressing, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, lime zest, sugar, and Thai chile. Set aside.

STEP 3

Preheat grill to medium heat. Cook steak until dark grill marks appear, about 3-5 minutes per side or until an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

STEP 4

Assemble either as individual salads or as one large salad with lettuce, cabbage, greens, red onion, tomatoes, cilantro, mint, peanuts, and ground toasted rice. Drizzle dressing over the top. Slice steak against the grain and serve on top of salad. Finish with a little more dressing, peanuts, and toasted rice.

Options

Thai chiles are very spicy. If you are sensitive to spice either use less or omit it.
