  1. Stir together the marinade ingredients. Slice beef and put in a large zipper bag.

  2. Pour the marinade into the zipper bag. Close the bag and massage the bag to mix the marinade to coat all the beef. Refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours to let the meat marinade.

  3. Stir salad dressing ingredients together. Taste test the dressing, looking for a tangy taste that is a balance between sweet and sour, salty and spicy in that order. Add a little more of any ingredient to balance the flavour. (Lime for more sour, sugar for less sour, salt or fish sauce for more salty and chili or Cayenne pepper for more spice). Set aside in the fridge.

  4. Prepare your bowl of salad greens, tomato, onion, cucumber and herbs. Toss the salad.

  5. Cook beef on a BBQ, under the grill or in a fry pan. If cooking in a fry pan cook with a little minced ginger, minced garlic and or sliced chili pepper.

  6. Toss the salad with the dressing and lay over the beef strips. Optionally you can also sprinkle salad and beef with sliced fresh red chili pepper.
