Ingredients

4 x 200g sirloin steaks
juice 2 limes
1 tsp golden caster sugar
pinch of ground coriander
splash of soy sauce
juice 2 limes
1 tbsp fish sauce
2 tsp brown sugar
1-2 green Thai chillies , finely sliced
small bunch coriander stalks , very finely chopped (use the leaves below)
½ cucumber , halved lengthways, deseeded and thinly sliced
2 handfuls cherry tomatoes , quartered
large handful mint leaves
large handful basil leaves
large handful coriander leaves
1 shallot , sliced into thin rings
½ small white cabbage , very finely sliced
large bunch fine green beans , very finely sliced

Steps:

To make the marinade, mix all the ingredients until the sugar dissolves, then pour over the steaks. Leave to marinate for no longer than 2 hrs or the meat will turn pappy. Meanwhile, fire up your barbecue coals and wait for them to turn ashen.
Mix all the dressing ingredients together. Toss the salad ingredients with half the dressing and set aside. When the coals are ashen, sear the steak for 3-4 mins on each side for medium-rare, then leave to rest for 5 mins. Carve the steaks into thin slices and fan out on the sides of the plates. Place a pile of salad on the other side of each plate and drizzle the remaining dressing over everything.
