Juicy, lemongrass-marinated beef sits atop a refreshing, herb-laden salad in this Thai favorite.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb. sirloin steak
- 4 stalks lemongrass
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 tbsp. Cooking oil
- 2 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 3/4 tsp. sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. fresh-ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp. Asian fish sauce (nam pla or nuoc mam)
- 1 tbsp. water
- 3/4 tsp. rice-wine vinegar
- Pinch dried red-pepper flakes
- 1 small head romaine lettuce
- 2 carrots
- 1 cucumber
- 1/2 c. lightly packed cilantro leaves
- 1/4 c. Chopped fresh mint
Instructions
- In a medium shallow glass or stainless-steel bowl, combine the steak, lemongrass, half the garlic, the oil,1 1/2 tablespoons of the lemon juice, 3/4 teaspoon of the sugar, the salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
- In a small glass or stainless-steel bowl, combine the fish sauce, the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice, garlic, and 2 teaspoons sugar, the water, vinegar, and red-pepper flakes.
- In a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, combine the romaine, carrots, cucumber, cilantro, and mint.
- Light the grill or heat the broiler. Thread the steak onto eight skewers. Grill or broil the meat, turning, until done to your taste, about 5 minutes for medium rare. Toss the dressing with the salad and serve topped with the satays.
- Notes: Asian fish sauce is available at Asian markets and many supermarkets
- Wine Recommendation: Although beef traditionally calls for a red, these seasonings suggest a white wine. A rich Californian, such as a full-bodied chardonnay, can play to both the beef and the salad here. If you prefer red wine, try a light, fruity Beaujolais.
