Tim's Tantalizing Thai Salad image

From the famous German chef, Tim Melzer. Beef sauteed with chiles, and served over a bed of romaine lettuce, topped with fresh basil, mint and coriander with a fresh lime vinaigrette drizzled all over it. YUM. You can throw this together in less than fifteen minutes! NOTE: This is spicy, if you don't like spicy, omit the chiles. Also, if you are averse to cilantro, just use basil, and mint.

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

16 ounces filet steak or 16 ounces sirloin
2 Thai chiles, cut into rings
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 garlic cloves, finely sliced
1 romaine lettuce hearts
1 bunch fresh Thai basil, leaves only
1 bunch fresh cilantro, leaves only
5 mint leaves
1 red onion, sliced into thin rings
1 edible orchid
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon fish sauce (nam pla)
5 tablespoons peanut oil
1 tablespoon sugar
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Mix lime juice, fish sauce, peanut oil, sugar, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Add the constarch to the beef strips and toss.
  • Add 3 TB oil to a heavy bottomed pan and heat to medium-high.
  • When the oil is hot, but not smoking add the beef strips and stir constantly, about 5 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and sugar. The starch will stick to the pan, but that is ok.
  • Add the chiles and cook two minutes more.
  • Add the garlic and cook another minute, remove and set aside to cool to lukewarm.
  • Slice the romaine lettuce in half lengthwise, and then each half into thin strips, and spread them out on a serving platter.

  • Drizzle dressing on it, break the orchid into three parts and add on top.
  • Serve immediately.
