My ex-wife made the best thai beef salad I've had and I'm wondering if maybe someone has a better receipe. So I figure I can ask the TF community and see what is the receipe and directions for cooking.

Thai beef salad - Is it the spicy one?

It can be spicy or not depends on receipe. I like pet mak myself unlike most farangs.

So I guess u are talking about

YUM NUA 2 servings

2 teaspoon vegetable oil

1/4 of an onion, thinly sliced

1-2 limes

2 tablespoon fish sauce

10 sprigs cilantro

1/2 lb beef

2 sprigs spearmint (Optional)

1 teaspoon nam prig pow (Optional)

1/2 teaspoon ground dried chili pepper (Optional)

Tips and substitutions

We use inexpensive flat steak when we buy it just for the recipe, but use any left over flat steak.

Broil or grill the steak until medium rare. When cooked, slice the steak against the grain into very thin slices .

The amount of onion that you should add should be equal to the amount of meat. Mince most of the cilantro and the mint, but set aside a few sprigs of cilantro and mint for a garnish. Put the beef, onion, cilantro, mint, fish sauce, chili pepper and nam prik pow in a bowl and mix together.

Add 3/4 of a lime and taste. Depending on how sour and how juicy your lime is, you might need more. If you need more lime, keep adding just a little. This dish should taste a little hot, and well balanced between the lime and the fish sauce. Serve warm or cold.
