Asian Inspired Beef Salad

• Dressing
• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 3 tablespoons fish sauce
• 3 tablespoons unrefined sugar
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons lemongrass, microplaned
• 1 tablespoon lime zest
• 2 teaspoons serrano chili, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• Salad
• 1 pound beef sirloin, grass fed preferred
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• kosher salt
• fresh cracked black pepper
• 2 cups red leafed baby romaine
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/3 cup basil, roughly chopped
• 1/3 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
• 1/3 cup mint, roughly chopped
• 1/2 red pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 vine ripe tomatoes, cut in quarters

1. Combine all ingredients in a small jar and shake until combined. Set aside for at least 30 minutes.
2. Rub the beef with sesame oil and season with salt and pepper.
3. Combine lettuce, herbs, red onion and red pepper in a salad bowl, toss to combine.
4. Heat a stove top grill pan and sear beef until cooked to your liking. We like ours medium rare, which is about 2 - 3 minutes each side depending on thickness of the cut of meat. Slice meat into thin strips.
5. Toss the greens with 1/3 of the dressing.
6. Divide salad greens onto serving plates. Top with the sliced beef and tomatoes. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the top of each salad.
7. Serve. Eat.
