How to Make Thai Salad With Grilled Flank Steak

  1. **Marinate the Steak:** In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Add 1 lb flank steak and marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
  2. **Prepare the Dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  3. **Prep the Vegetables:** While the steak marinates, prepare the vegetables. Peel 1 English cucumber, leaving some green stripes. Cut in half lengthwise, remove seeds, and slice diagonally into thin half-moons.
  4. **Grill the Steak:** Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated flank steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches your preferred internal temperature.
  5. **Rest the Steak:** Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender steak.
  6. **Assemble the Salad:** In a large bowl, combine 4 cups shredded red cabbage, 2 cups shredded carrots, 1 cup chopped cilantro, 1/2 cup chopped mint, and the sliced cucumber. Gently toss.
  7. **Dress and Toss:** Add the prepared dressing to the salad and toss gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add more lime juice if desired.
  8. **Slice the Steak:** Once rested, thinly slice the steak against the grain.
  9. **Plate and Garnish:** Divide the salad among six plates. Top each serving with a portion of the sliced steak. Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts or a few chives per serving.
  10. **Serve Immediately:** Enjoy your delicious Thai Salad with Grilled Flank Steak!
