Best 4 Thai Inspired Steak And Pasta Salad Recipes

THAI-STYLE STEAK SALAD

Steps:

• Make marinade: In a medium bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, red-pepper flakes, and oil. Season steaks with salt and pepper; place in a baking dish. Pour 1/4 of marinade over steaks (reserve remaining marinade); turn steaks to coat. Let steaks marinate up to 30 minutes.
• In a large skillet, cook steaks on medium-high heat, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board; tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest, 5 to 10 minutes. Slice steaks across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices; halve slices crosswise. Transfer to a large bowl, and toss with reserved marinade.
• With a vegetable peeler, cut carrots into long ribbons. Add to steak in bowl, along with lettuce and mint; toss to combine. Divide salad among 4 shallow bowls. Sprinkle with bean sprouts and peanuts, if desired.

THAI-INSPIRED STEAK AND PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients of marinade, except for 2 Tbls of lime juice.
• Pour 1/2 marinade over steak, then add reserved lime juice. Refrigerate other half of marinade for later. Steaks should sit for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
• Once steaks are ready, you can either grill them until they are slightly pink in the middle, or broil them. To broil: place on a broiler pan, broil 3 inches from heat 10 minutes or until desired degree of doneness, turning after 5 minutes.
• While steak is broiling/grilling, bring 3 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Add pasta, cook until halfway done, then add green beans (optional). Let pasta alone until it finishes cooking.
• Let steak stand for a few minutes, then cut diagonally across grain into thin slices.
• Combine onions, red pepper, and steak into a pan. Add the remaining marinade and sesame seeds and saute until steaks are sizzling and onions and peppers are done to your liking.
• Serve steak and veggies over pasta, sprinkle with feta cheese.
• We use whatever steak we have left for steak and eggs the next morning!
