Thai Recipe for Raw Beef Salad

An easy Thai summer recipe: a spicy chilled Thai beef salad with fresh cucumber, cherry tomatoes, mint, cilantro and red onion in a spicy fish sauce and lime juice marinade!

I dear this yum nua, or archetype Thai beef salad!

There is this restaurant here in Spain by the name of El Cordero (which ways lamb in Spanish). And they prepare pretty much everything that is on the menu on a massive grill.

The heat of that grill is spot on and in the terminate the meat is really to die for. And then we decided that whenever we fancy a T-os, we would go in that location instead of doing it myself.

Leftover Steak

They practise a ameliorate task than I could ever do.

Pan seared versus roasted on a charcoal grill makes a huge difference. And the prices there are also ridiculously low. A massive T-os is about 22 bucks whereas if I become to any butcher around here, that cut of meat is about 20 to 22 bucks per kilo.

A T-bone piece here will hands attain 4 lbs (i,5 kg) so do the math.

The divergence in price is almost aught.

And they cook it for you.

And then why bother?

Me and the hubs always have a difficult time finishing the whole T-bone by ourselves.

For obvious reasons.

And too because we order other stuff on the side such as wrinkly potatoes (papas arrugadas) and the mixed grilled vegetables.

But no worries, it is very normal here to enquire for a doggy bag and take your leftovers home.

Then in comes this deliciously cherry meat and I always make a Thai beef salad with it.

Mine is prepared a little different though. I slice the cooked rare meat and then add the marinade. In Thailand the beef is usually sliced first, stir fried, cooled and marinated afterwards.

Cooked & Sliced vs. Sliced & Cooked

Serving raw beefiness is a run a risk in those high.

And humid temperatures so they brand sure to cook the beef though and through. Merely I am a rare meat lover and then is the hubs.
