Ingredients:

  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce

  • 2 teaspoons sugar

  • 12 ounces flank steak or your favorite cut

  • 4 cups Bibb lettuce

  • 1 cucumber, peeled and sliced thin

  • 1 cup grape tomatoes

  • 2 carrots shaved with a vegetable peeler

  • ΒΌ cup packed fresh mint leaves

  • 1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves

    Directions:

    In a glass-baking dish combine soy sauce, fish sauce and sugar for the marinade. Add the steak, turning and coating it both sides. Let it marinate at least fifteen minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator.

    Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the steak to the skillet reserving the marinade for another step. Reduce the heat and cook until dark brown on both sides, about three to five minutes per side. Now add the reserved marinade to the skillet. Turn the steak to coat it in the marinade.. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for five minutes. Slice it thin against the grain of the meat.

    In a large salad bowl toss together the lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, carrots, mint and basil. Toss with dressing and serve immediately. You can coat this with a store bought Ginger dressing or use the dressing recipe below.

    You can use this on any type of leaf you have at home, such as spring mix or arugula, any organic leaf lettuce or romaine. It will be just as great.
