Keto Spicy Thai Beef Salad
Those afraid of spicy have been warned! This is a salad that packs the heat! If you want to try this recipe with a lower level of spice, you can omit the chili paste and serrano pepper included in the ingredient list. However, this salad is accompanied with cooling lime juice, cucumber, and cilantro. This is one lunch salad completely loaded with flavor and lots of green!
How to Make It
Step 1
Either the day before or the morning before you want to make this salad, prepare the beef in a marinade. Slice the beef into a few pieces and place them in a ziploc bag. Combine with the first amount of olive oil; rice vinegar; salt; and pepper, a chopped garlic clove, chili paste, and lime juice. Use the ziploc bag to spread the marinade around the steak. Set this in your refrigerator either overnight or for at least 6 hours.
Step 2
Once the steak is done marinating, it’s time to make the salad! In a large bowl, combine the spinach, coleslaw mix, cilantro, a chopped serrano pepper, and diced cucumber.
Step 3
Add the remaining ingredients to your salad mixing bowl and toss the ingredients until everything is coated evenly. Arrange the salad on a plate and set this aside.
Step 4
Cook your steak in a small pan over high heat with as much marinade as you can squeeze out of your bag. Cook on both sides for 2-3 minutes or to your preferred doneness.
Step 5
Arrange your cooked steak on top of your salad. Serve with a fork and knife. At your discretion, you may garnish your salad with extra cilantro, lime wedges, or additional spices. Enjoy!
