Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the flank steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is achieved.
Step 2Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 3In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, minced Thai chilies, and minced garlic to create the dressing.
Step 4Arrange the mixed greens on a large serving platter. Top with sliced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and the fresh herbs (cilantro, mint, and basil).
Step 5Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain and arrange the slices over the salad.
Step 6Drizzle the salad with the prepared lime dressing and garnish with crushed peanuts before serving.
