Our Thai Style Beef Salad is layered with amazing Thai flavors that will make eating a salad as a main dish a pleasure. Certified Man and kid approved <3
I love a fabulous, main dish salad with lots of goodies. There’s nothing I like more for dinner when the weather warms up a bit. Here’s a wonderful recipe from Emerils cookbook At The Grill. I picked this book up last summer and have been enjoying trying these new recipes. This has been, by far, the family fav so far! The main change I’ve made to this recipe is to really make the herbs a larger player in the dish. I love how wonderfully fresh they make it!
Thai Style Beef Salad
Ingredients
- 1-1 3/4 Pound Flank Steak
- Creole Seasoning
- 2 Tablespoons Jasmine Rice
- 3 Tablespoons Vietnamese Fish Sauce
- 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1/4 Cup plus 2 Tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice
- 2 Teaspoons Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Green Onions Thinly Sliced
- 1/4 Cup Shallots Finely Chopped
- 1 Cup Fresh Cilantro Chopped
- 1 Cup Fresh Mint Chopped
- 1 Bag Shredded Cabbage
- 1 Cucumber Halved Lengthwise and Thinly Sliced
- 1 Cup Slivered Almonds Toasted
Instructions
- Season the flank steak with Creole seasoning on both sides. Refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat grill.
- Place the jasmine rice in a small skillet and heat it over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until it is toasted, golden brown, and fragrant, 6-7 minutes. Transfer rice to a plate and allow to cool. When cool, place in a clean coffee grinder, and process it to a very fine powder. Set the rice powder aside.
- Grill steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. (As always, my flank steak took a heck of a lot longer to reach m.r.). Remove from grill and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Thinly slice the steak against the grain, reserving any accumulated juices.
- In a small bowl, combine rice powder, fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, and reserved steak juice. Whisk to combine.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the green onions, shallots, cilantro, mint, cabbage, cucumber, almonds and toss with half of the dressing. Toss well and arrange on a platter. Toss the steak with the remaining dressing and arrange the steak slices over the top of the cabbage. Serve immediately. Oh-YUM

[…] Thai Style Beef Salad from Gonna Want Seconds […]
This looks soo good! I love me some Thai Beef Salad! I will have to try this one. thanks 🙂
This is a sad representation. I've been living in Thailand for a couple years and it looks nowhere near what “Nam Dtok” really is. Important ingredients such as Tamarind sauce and crushed roasted rice grains are not even in this recipe. Disappointed.
Love the list of ingredients here and want to try this one out! Sounds flavorful and I believe the beef part would win Grumpy over. I just won't tell him it is an Emeril recipe. 😉
Thanks for visiting my blog! I love your dishes. It is so funny that I just made a Thai beef salad 2 nights ago too! Looks so delicious.
sometimes salads fall flat for me at dinner… i am left hungry and unsatisfied… clearly i havent had this salad!
it looks amazing!
Now this is a salad that looks very filling. We luv us some beef!
I'm loving this, Kathleen. Someone I used to know would take leftover grilled steak and make a divine salad the next day. It wasn't as gorgeous as this, but it reminded me. Will be trying this out this summer!
Awesome, something else that will use up some of that pesky mint growing in my front yard. I can't use it up fast enough. Fortunately I love thai food!
I love main dish salads – cilantro and mint sounds like such a great, refreshing combo!

This sounds delicious and perfect for summer. The rice powder is such an interesting idea! I bet you could grind it in a food processor if you didn't have a coffee grinder. Thanks as always for the great recipes and tips.
Emily, I'm not sure about finding already prepared rice powder. Sorry!!!
Sounds delicious! Do you think I could find rice powder? I don't have a coffee grinder.
Sounds like the perfect summer meal…yum!
