thai style salad
Ingredients:
1 pound sugar snap peas, ends and strings trimmed
1 red bell pepper, quartered, cored and thinly sliced
1 medium cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded and sliced thin
1 pound skirt or flank steak
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 dash freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
40 g shallots (2), thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons fish sauce
4 g red chili pepper (seeds and veins removed for less heat if desired), sliced crosswise
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons mint leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons roasted unsalted peanuts, chopped (optional)
Directions:
1. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the sugar snaps and boil 1 minute. Drain and cool under cold running water; drain well. Slice sugar snaps on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces. Transfer to a shallow serving bowl and add the bell pepper and cucumber.
2. Heat a medium nonstick skillet over high heat 2 minutes. Pat the steak dry and season on both sides with the salt and black pepper to taste. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to skillet and cook steak, turning once, until seared, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
3. Pour remaining oil into skillet. Add the shallots and sauté over medium-high heat until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the lime juice, fish sauce, chile and sugar. Remove from heat.
4. Transfer steak to a cutting board; pour the juices from the plate into skillet. Thinly slice steak across the grain and return sliced meat to skillet; toss to coat.
5. Pour steak and shallot mixture over sugar snaps, bell pepper and cucumber. Garnish with the tomatoes, cilantro and mint and the peanuts if desired; serve immediately.
