Ingredients
- 2 stalks lemongrass, white part only, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1 fresh long red chilli, seeded, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup (60ml) fish sauce
- 4 (about 150g each) beef sirloin or scotch fillet steaks
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons caster sugar
- 200g snow peas, trimmed, thinly sliced lengthwise
- 1/4 (about 450g) red cabbage, shredded
- 1/4 (about 450g) green cabbage, shredded
- 4 green onions, trimmed, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup coriander leaves, plus extra to garnish
Method
- Step 1Place lemongrass, oil, half the chilli and 1 tablespoon fish sauce in a food processor and process until a fine paste forms. Transfer to a shallow glass or ceramic bowl. Add beef. Set aside for 10 minutes to marinate.
- Step 2Preheat a char-grill pan on high. Cook beef for 2-3 minutes each side for medium or until cooked as desired. Remove and set aside for 5 minutes to rest.
- Step 3Meanwhile, combine lime juice, rice wine vinegar, sugar, remaining fish sauce and chilli in a bowl and stir until sugar dissolves.
- Step 4Place snow peas in a heatproof bowl and pour over enough boiling water to cover. Set aside for 30 seconds. Refresh under cold running water. Drain well.
- Step 5Place cabbage, green onion, coriander, snow peas and half the dressing in a bowl and toss to combine. Slice beef into 1cm-thick slices. Divide salad among serving plates and top with beef. Drizzle with remaining dressing and garnish with extra coriander leaves.
