How to Make Asian Grilled Beef Salad
- Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
- Prepare the beef: Cut 1 lb beef sirloin into 1-inch thick slices. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Grill the beef: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill the beef for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness.
- Marinate the beef: Once grilled, slice the beef thinly against the grain. Add the sliced beef to the marinade and let it sit for at least 15 minutes (longer is better!), allowing the flavors to meld.
- Prepare the salad: While the beef marinates, wash and chop your salad components. We recommend: 5 oz mixed greens, 1/2 cup shredded carrots, 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 1/4 cup chopped green onions.
- Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, carrots, red cabbage, cilantro, and green onions.
- Add the beef: Add the marinated beef to the salad.
- Make the dressing (optional): If you desire a more pronounced dressing, whisk together 2 tablespoons of the marinade with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
- Serve: Toss everything together and serve immediately. Garnish with sesame seeds for extra crunch and visual appeal.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
