Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 1 pound flank steak (or your favorite cut)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon chili paste adjust for your spice level!
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens think romaine, spinach, and arugula for those green vibes
  • 1 unit cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 unit red bell pepper, julienned
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup peanuts, roughly chopped optional but recommended for crunch!
For the Dressing
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

Marinate the Steak
  1. In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, lime juice, chili paste, and a sprinkle of black pepper.
  2. Place the flank steak in a resealable bag with the marinade, seal it, and pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Grill the Steak
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting the excess drip off.
  3. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on your preferred doneness.
  4. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it against the grain.
Mix the Salad
  1. While the steak is resting, toss the salad greens, cucumber, bell pepper, and cilantro in a large bowl.
Whisk the Dressing
  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, and garlic powder until well-combined.
  2. Taste and adjust as needed—sometimes a dash more lime juice does wonders!
Assemble Your Salad
  1. Slice the grilled steak and lay it over the salad mixture.
  2. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with chopped peanuts for that delightful crunch.
  3. Serve immediately and savor every bite!

Notes

Store the salad components separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to two days. Keep the dressing in a separate jar, and add it fresh when you're ready to eat.
