Tips:
- For the best results, use flank steak or skirt steak, which are both lean and flavorful cuts of beef.

- To make the marinade, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
- Let the steak marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- When you're ready to cook the steak, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked to your liking.
- While the steak is cooking, prepare the salad by combining cucumber, red onion, cilantro, and mint in a large bowl.
- Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.
- Add the sliced steak to the salad and toss to combine.
- Serve the salad immediately, topped with the dressing of your choice.
