Chef notes

This delicious salad pairs fresh herbs, crisp greens and veggies with hearty steak for a light summer meal that's also filling. The easy Asian-inspired dressing adds tons of flavor and complements the richness of the meat.

Preparation

Preheat grill to high heat.

Brush steak with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until the charred outside, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness. Transfer to a work surface and rest for 5 minutes.

In a blender, puree 2 tablespoons oil, lime juice, fish sauce, garlic, chile, ginger and sugar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

In a bowl, toss lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, green onions, basil, cilantro and mint with two-thirds of dressing. Divide among plates.

Thinly slice steak across the grain and serve alongside the salad. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the steak and salad.
