Ingredients

  • Flank Steak Marinade:
  • A dash of light soy sauce
  • A splash of vegetable oil
  • Fresh slivers of garlic and a slice of ginger root
  • A portion of flank steak weighing 12 ounces
  • Thai Salad:
  • Slivers of green mango
  • A generous amount of salad greens
  • A portion of bean sprouts and shredded carrot
  • Thinly sliced snow peas and chopped roasted peanuts
  • Fresh mint, cilantro, and Thai basil, coarsely torn
  • Diagonally sliced green onion
  • Salad Dressing:
  • Tangy lime juice and fish sauce
  • Vegetable oil and a sprinkle of brown sugar
  • Soy sauce and minced shallot
  • A Thai chile pepper, thinly sliced to taste

Step 1

In a resealable plastic bag, mix together light soy sauce, ginger root, garlic, and 1/4 cup of vegetable oil. Place the flank steak in the bag, seal it, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Step 2

Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate before grilling the steak. While the steak cooks, prepare a vibrant salad by tossing together mango, salad greens, bean sprouts, carrot, snow peas, peanuts, mint, cilantro, Thai basil, and green onion in a large bowl.

Step 3

Once the steak is grilled to your desired doneness, transfer it to a dish, cover it with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes. In the meantime, whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, shallot, and a chile pepper to create a zesty dressing for the salad.

Step 4

Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain and top the flavorful mango-greens mixture with the steak slices. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and divide it onto 2 serving plates for a delightful and satisfying meal experience.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your flank steak fresh and flavorful by storing it in an airtight container or zip-top bag in the refrigerator. Make sure to remove as much air as possible to prevent the meat from drying out.
  2. 2. To maximize the shelf life of your mango salad, store it in a glass container with a tight-fitting lid. This will help preserve the freshness of the delicate mango and other ingredients.
