📋 About This Recipe:
The first time I made this steak salad recipe was for a potluck event, and my friends were pleasantly surprised by how well peanut and coriander complemented each other in this mix.
Since then, this has become one of my go-to methods for enjoying steaks, especially as a great low-carb option.
What’s even better is that, unlike a traditional steak that’s best enjoyed hot, this recipe tastes just as delicious when served cold, making it perfect for sharing with your family.
Plus, any leftovers can easily be packed into your lunch box for a delightful next-day meal.
🍳 Ingredients for Asian Steak Salad
- Steak: while eye fillet is very tender but can be expensive, feel free to use any type of steak you prefer.
- Peanuts: I discovered that skinless peanuts work best for this recipe. You can easily find pre-toasted skinless peanuts at the store, and all you need to do is give them a rough crush. You can even use a food processor or blender on a low setting; there’s no need to use a rolling pin.
- Balsamic vinegar: Balsamic vinegar offers a light, slightly fruity flavor that’s ideal for salad dressings. However, you can also opt for rice vinegar as an alternative.
- Sugar: You can modify the amount of sugar to suit your personal taste.
🔪 Instructions
* Step One: Preparation
Start by crushing the peanuts using a rolling pin or a food processor. Then, finely chop the coriander. In a small bowl, combine the sesame oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar.
* Step Two: Cooking the Steaks
Season both sides of the steaks with a pinch of salt. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat and cook each steak for approximately 4.5 to 5 minutes per side. Once done, slice the steaks.
* Step Three: Mixing the Ingredients
Mixing the Ingredients: Now, mix together the crushed peanuts, chopped coriander, sliced steaks, and the prepared dressing. If you like some extra heat, you can sprinkle optional chili flakes.
