Melanie Sykes' Thai Beef Salad

Fancy something tasty but quick to prepare? Here's your answer: Melanie's 30-minute Thai-influenced beef salad

Dish Details:clockheart


INGREDIENTS:

1 tbsp Thai fragrant rice
450g beef fillet, approximately 3 small steaks
4 shallots or 1/2 onion
4 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
4 spring onions
8 tbsp beef stock
4 tbsp fish sauce
juice of 1 lemon or 1 lime
1 tsp crushed dried chillies or chilli powder
2 tsp caster sugar

Salad leaves and steamed rice to serve


PREPARATION:
1. Heat a heavy based frying pan, add the rice and cook over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes. The grains should be an even golden brown. Grind the rice in a clean coffee grinder or pestle and mortar.

2. Pre-heat the grill to high and grill the meat for 2-3 minutes on each side close to the heat - it should be quite rare. Slice it thinly and leave to one side.

3. Chop the shallots and coriander, slice the spring onions and keep to one side.

4. Put the stock, fish sauce, lemon juice, chilli and caster sugar into a wok and bring to the boil. Add the beef and stir in the shallots, spring onions, chopped coriander and rice. Stir and heat for a few seconds only. Serve with salad and steamed rice.
