LAAB - THAI GROUND BEEF SALAD
Wonderful fast summer or anytime meal that comes together quickly once you have your ingredients prepped. Mise en place very helpful with this dish. From Taste of Thai - thank you! Use a nice butter lettuce for this - core the head & rinse the leaves well. Dry & have plenty available - use 2 heads if they seem small - 1 per serving! I entered 12 leaves simply because the program required a number - we just keep a couple of heads available when we make this.

MY O MY.. BEST THAI BEEF SALAD EVER!
This is one of the best Thai salads I have ever tasted and I just had to share it with my zaar family. Try it, you won't regret it. You can substitute the beef with the same amount of Pork fillets, chicken breasts or thigh fillets, or some firm tofu. When preparing this salad in advance, cook the beef, prepare the salad, and make the dressing, BUT STORE EACH IN SEPARATE CONTAINERS. Do NOT combine until you are ready to serve. This is an ideal portable lunch or picnic dish that can be transported in 3 small containers, and assembled on the spot.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and tools you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. When possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
- Pay Attention to the Cooking Time: Overcooking can ruin the texture and flavor of the beef. Cook the beef until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- Use a Hot Pan: A hot pan will help to sear the beef and give it a nice crust. Make sure the pan is hot before adding the beef.
- Let the Beef Rest: After cooking the beef, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Use a Sharp Knife: A sharp knife will help you get clean, even slices of beef. Make sure your knife is sharp before slicing the beef.
- Serve Immediately: Thai beef salad is best served immediately after it is made. The flavors will start to meld together as the salad sits, but it is best enjoyed when the beef is still warm and the vegetables are crisp.
Conclusion:
Thai beef salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The combination of flavors and textures in this salad is sure to please everyone at your table. With its bold flavors and vibrant colors, this salad is sure to become a favorite in your home. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give this Thai beef salad a try.
