TIGER FRUIT SALAD

Steps:

• Drain fruit in a fine-mesh sieve set over a small bowl; set fruit aside. Add oil, soy sauce, and lime zest to marinating liquid in bowl and whisk to combine. Pour dressing over cilantro mixture and toss to coat. Add reserved fruit and sesame seeds and toss gently to combine. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
• Transfer salad to a platter and serve with lime wedges.

THAI WEEPING TIGER GRILLED BEEF SALAD

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Stir marinade ingredients together in a cup and spoon over steaks, turning them to ensure all sides are saturated. Set in the refrigerator to marinate at least 20 minutes or up to 4 hours.
• Stir dressing ingredients together in a cup, adjusting the fish sauce according to your desired level of saltiness. It should taste tangy with a balance of sweet and sour, spicy and salty.
• Place greens in a large salad bowl and add the onion, tomato, coriander, and mint. Set aside.
• Warm up your grill and lightly brush with vegetable oil. Grill steaks until cooked on the outside and slightly red on the inside (in Thailand this steak is served quite rare on the inside). Any leftover marinade can be brushed on after the first turning.
• Slice steak thinly and place over the salad along with 3/4 of the peanuts. Drizzle dressing over and toss. Portion out into bowls or individual plates and add a final topping of chopped peanuts and coriander.
