thai steak salad


I almost didn't post this recipe because the dressing that went with it was such a fail, but Bennett did such a great job cooking the steak to go on top, that I couldn't leave it out!  We ended up using a ginger dressing I had in the fridge instead of the fish sauce and lime dressing I had planned to make.  Can someone tell me if fish sauce is supposed to smell that repulsive?!

Thai Steak Salad

12oz beef sirloin, 1" thick, trimmed
salt and pepper
1 medium melon or 1 large mango, chopped
1 small green bell pepper, chopped
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
6 cups lettuce, torn
1/2 cup slivered red onion
1/2 cup thin cucumber slices, halved
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, torn

Preheat pan (or grill) to medium.  Sprinkle both sides of steak with salt and pepper.  Cook steak about 6-7 minutes per side for medium.  Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing crosswise.  Combine remaining ingredients, toss with dressing, and top with steak.
