Ingredients

Marinade

  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 large clove garlic minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon Asian chili-garlic sauce
  • 1 tablespoon roasted sesame oil
  • 0.5 Pound sirloin steak

Salad

  • 1 cup Napa cabbage thinly sliced
  • 0.5 cup red cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli slaw
  • 1 cup bok choy chopped
  • 0.5 cup snap peas
  • 2 tablespoons roasted peanuts
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Dressing

  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower oil

Instructions

  • Whisk together marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Add the steak, toss to thoroughly coat.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and allow to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. Or, place in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
  • Heat grill to HIGH. Place steak on grill and grill until golden brown and slightly charred, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn steak over and continue cooking on the other side for 3 to 4 minutes for medium-rare (130°F) or 5 to 7 minutes for medium (135°F).
  • Cover steak with foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes, then slice thinly.

To make the Dressing

  • Pour the marinade into a saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes. Whisk in the rice wine vinegar and oil.
  • Toss salad ingredients together in a large bowl, then divide between two plates.
  • Place steak slices over salad and top with dressing, peanuts, and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Make sure you save the marinade, it will become the dressing!
  • Slice beef against the grain for maximum tenderness.
  • Chill bok choy in ice water for extra crispness.
  • Adjust ginger quantity to taste.
  • Toast sesame seeds to enhance flavor.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • The salad ingredients were chosen because they are pretty typical ingredients that you would find in an Asian style salad. Feel free to add your favorites or omit things that you do not like.
