Ok so with this recipe I will admit there is very little difference between the simple and the sensational version, but they do look different when served and one really does look more elegant than the other. What else can I say......
2 Cucumbers 250 g Beef Fillet Cooking spray handful of cilantro (coriander) finely chopped 1 Tablespoon sweet chili sauce 1 Clove Garlic 2 Tablespoons palm sugar 1 tablespoon fish sauce 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1/4 Cup of lime juice
Method
Mix all the ingredients except the beef, cilantro and cucumber together until the sugar has dissolved. I find that sometimes it is easier to mix this dressing and let it sit for a while because I don't have the patience to finely chop the palm sugar and sometimes it takes a while to dissolve, but moving on. Spray a non stick fry pan and cook the beef until it is cooked to your liking. I like mine to be fairly rare in this dish and I believe that the Thai beef salad that this is based on requires a rare, but if that is not to your taste, cook it more. Slice the beef into fairly small thin slices and mix with the dressing. Mix the cilantro with the beef. Cut the cucumber into thin slices and top with a little of the beef mixture, serve immediately.
