Spicy Thai Beef Salad

Method

In a medium sized dish, combine the rump steak and marinade ingredients. Cover with foil and refrigerate for at least 1 hour but up to 5 hours. 

In a large bowl, toss together the salad ingredients except for the peanuts. 

In a small jar, shake together the dressing ingredients. 

Bring the barbecue grill to a high heat. Grill the steak for 2 minutes on each side for rare and 3 minutes for medium rare. Remove from the grill and place on a plate. Loosely cover with tinfoil and set aside to rest for 10 minutes. 

Once rested, thinly slice the steak into long strips going against the grain. 

Toss the beef and dressing through the salad and divide between 4 plates. 

Finish with chopped peanuts.
