Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 tsp chili flakes
- 300 g ribeye steaks
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ Mayonnnaise
- salt and pepper
- 2 scallions
- 75 g cherry tomatoes
- 50 g cucumber
- 75 g lettuce
- ½ red onion
- fresh cilantro
- 1 tbsp (10 g) sesame seeds
Instructions
- Make the sesame mayonnaise by mixing mustard in a bowl.
- Mix all ingredients for the beef marinade and pour into a plastic bag. Add the beef and marinate for 15 minutes or more at room temperature.
- Chop all vegetables for the salad, except the scallions, into bite-sized pieces. Divide between two plates.
- Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add sesame seeds to the dry pan, and toast them for a couple of minutes, or until they’re lightly browned and fragrant. Set aside.
- Pat the meat dry on both sides with paper towels. Fry for a minute or two on each side on high heat, or until cooked to medium. (In this dish, the beef is best served at medium, but you can make it well done if you prefer.)
- Fry the scallions for a minute in the same pan.
- Slice the meat, across the grain, into thin slices. Place beef and scallions on top of the vegetables. Serve with roasted sesame seeds and sesame mayonnaise.
Tip!
In a hurry? If you don’t feel like making mayo from scratch, just add some sesame oil and lime juice to store-bought mayonnaise. Craving a bit of variety? Try swapping in salmon or pre-cooked chicken instead of the beef.
