Thai Sweet Chilli Steak Salad

Been an active day and feeling like something healthy.  This is a hearty and great salad but without the usual boring salad greens.  It has a punch of flavour, is nutty and crunchy and is slightly warm.  Did I mention it is great for the waistline? I usually get my hubby to do the meat on the grill and then we finish it off together.  Here we go ... (suitable for 2 foodie lovers)

Thai Sweet Chilli Steak Salad
1 Tbsp fish sauce
2 Tbsp Soy sauce
3 Tbsp Sweet chilli sauce
1/2 tsp lemon juice
2 tbsp olive oil
300g Rump steak
1/2 English cucumber, cut in half lengthwise, seeded, sliced
2 ripe tomatoes, halved and seeded, sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
Bunch of mint leaves, rough chop
Bunch of coriander, rough chop
1/2 cup bean sprouts

Dressing
1/3 cup sweet chilli sauce
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp fish sauce
1 clove garlic, minced

Mix fish sauce, soy sauce, sweet chilli and lemon juice in a flat dish
Add rump steak and marinade, min 30 min, few hours is best
Heat oil in pan and fry steak for 3 min each side
Remove from pan and allow to stand for 5 min in aluminium foil
For dressing: in a jug whisk together all ingredients and set aside
In a bowl combine cucumber, tomatoes, onion, mint, coriander and sprouts
Thinly slice steak, toss through salad with dressing just before serving.

Yummy!
