spicy-grilled-beef-salad

My family and I just came home after four weeks in Southeast Asia – a week in Ha Noi Vietnam and the remaining three weeks we spent traveling through Thailand. This was our 3rd trip to Thailand and needless to say, I’m absolutely in love with the country and yes, I would live there if I could (the rumors have been flying around that this is our plan but all I can say is one can wish…)!

Our first trip to Thailand took place over three years ago when I spent six weeks in the magical country doing research for my latest book Everyday Paleo Thai Cuisine. I never get sick of Thai food and I’m already missing my daily papaya salad, creamy curries, tangy-spicy-savory salads, and tantalizing stir-fries.

The good news is – I can make all of this awesome food at home and so can you! In this post I’m giving to you one of my favorite salad recipes from my Thai Cuisine book that is perfect for spring and summer. I plan on making this one a lot and I’m also including for you the Beef Marinade that is required for this salad but is great to have on hand for your spring and summer steak grilling and also you can use if for chicken! Sooooo flavorful!!

    My experience with celery is that it has been bitter. Is there a trick to finding any that isn’t?

      The younger, leafier, crispier celery leaves are sweeter! Just omit if you can’t find what you’re looking for. 🙂

    Wow, I’ve been sleeping on your Thai cookbook. There’s a Thai restaurant (literally) across the street from where I live, and I eat there all the time. Like you, I could eat there everyday, no kidding. I’ve tried to duplicate their dishes, but mine never tastes as good as there’s taste.

    I’ll be buying your book today!

    Hey Sarah! How spicy is this recipe? Im usually the only one in my family that likes ‘hot’ stuff, but mild heat is usually ok for everybody else… Your previous mexican slow cooker recipe is amazing by the way! Simple and super good! 🙂

      Hi Shaun! You can make it as spicy or as mild as you like – that’s all determined by how many chilis you use. It calls for 2-6 chilis, I would start with just one chili, taste, and add more from there if desired. Better to start small than to put in too much! Happy cooking, I hope you enjoy it!

    Hi there, I’m attempting this today. So the recipe for the marinade says it makes 1/4 cup but mine looks less than that. Is there something else that goes into it like olive oil or similar?

      July 20, 2016 at 4:49 pm

      Nope, those are all of the ingredients! If you need more, you can double it, but it won’t be very “liquid-y”, it will coat the meat nicely when you mix it all together however. I hope you enjoy! 🙂
