Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 limes, divided
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil (dark)
3 garlic cloves, divided
1 1/4 lbs flank steaks, rinsed and patted dry
2 carrots, peeled and trimmed
10 cups shredded napa cabbage (about 1/2 head) or 10 cups cabbage (about 1/2 head)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, mint or 1/4 cup basil
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olives or 2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 teaspoon thia fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc mam) or 1 teaspoon vietnamese fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc mam)
1 pinch ground red pepper (cayenne)
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped peanuts (optional)

Steps:

  • To make the marinade, grate the zest from 1 lime; juice that lime. Whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, lime juice and zest, ginger and sesame oil. Chop 2 cloves garlic. With a mortar and pestle or with the flat side of a knife, mash the garlic into a paste. Whisk into the marinade.
  • Place the steak in a shallow dish and cover with the marinade, turning completely to coat. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours. (Alternate method: place steak in a ziplock bag, pour over marinade, squeeze out air, seal and massage to distribute marinade.) Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
  • In the meantime in a food processor fitted with the large grating attachment, shred the carrots. Transfer to a large bowl. Add cabbage and cilantro; toss well. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 hours.
  • To make the vinaigrette, juice the remaining lime. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, vinegar, olive or peanut oil, fish sauce, lime juice and cayenne. Chop the remaining garlic clove. Using a mortar and pestle or with the back of a knife, mash garlic to a paste; whisk into the vinaigrette.
  • Heat a broiler or grill. Remove the steak from the marinade, scraping off excess; season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, turning once halfway through, until browned, 5 or 6 minutes per side for medium/medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice against the grain.
  • To assemble, add just enough of the vinaigrette to the salad to coat it; toss well. Taste and add more dressing or salt or lime juice if desired. Place the salad onto the center of a platter and top with the steak. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and drizzle with more vinaigrette.

I added a bit of sriracha to the salad dressing for a little extra kick. It was the perfect way to balance out the sweetness of the pickled vegetables.

I'm not a big fan of raw cabbage, so I roasted it in the oven before adding it to the salad. It gave the cabbage a slightly caramelized flavor that I really enjoyed.

I didn't have any pickled vegetables on hand, so I used a store-bought Asian slaw mix instead. It worked out great!
