Ingredients

  • 1 cup lime juice
  • 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
  • 1 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup fish sauce
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 stalk lemongrass, smashed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
  • 1 ½ pounds (1 inch thick) steak fillet
  • 1 head leaf lettuce – rinsed, dried and torn into bite-size pieces
  • ½ English cucumber, diced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

Directions

Step 1
Mix lime juice, cilantro, mint leaves, sugar, fish sauce, green onions, lemongrass, and chili sauce together in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved. Adjust the flavor, if desired, by adding more sugar and/or fish sauce; set aside.

Step 2
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 3
Cook steak on the preheated grill until it begins to firm and is hot and slightly pink in the center, about 4 to 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).

Step 4
Transfer steak to a chopping board and slice into thin strips; add steak and its juices into the bowl with herb mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

Step 5
Place lettuce in a salad bowl; arrange cucumber on top. Add steak and pour all of the herb mixture on top. Scatter cherry tomatoes over salad and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
