thai 'nam tok' beef salad.

i love this dish so healthy so clean and fresh

sear a lean piece of porterhouse in a very hot cast pan till charred but still pink in the middle a slighty chilled meat will help with this the texture its important... let steak cool meanwhile chop handful of mint and coriander leaves half a small red onion finely sliced and halfed, 1 or 2 if you love it hot small red chillis seeds an all but as ive always said to taste to taste!

in a small ramekin or bowl mix 1 tspn caster sugar 2 tblsns lime juice 2 tspns fish sauce

half tspn ground hot chilli

NOW

taste taste taste and get the flavour as you like it! i like it totally balanced but some may like it on the sweet side where i like everything balanced its up to your own taste

toss all ingredients in a bowl chill for 20 minutes in the cooler

serve with a fresh sprinkle of ground chilli

and toasted ground rice if you like that nutty overtone.

im droolin typing this as i just made it and im going to eat it after i finish this post so enjoy!
