Thai food is popular in our household. So my husband and I developed this fresh, fuss-free alternative to a meat and potatoes dinner. The spicy sweet dressing is incredible!—Radelle Knappenberger, Oviedo, FL

  • Yield: 2 Servings
20 15 35

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • Dash salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 boneless beef top loin steak (8 ounces)
  • 4 cups torn romaine
  • 2 tablespoons salted peanuts
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped

Directions

  • For dressing, in a small bowl, combine the lime juice, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, pepper sauce, garlic and salt. Whisk in 1 tablespoon oil; set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook steak in remaining oil for 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Remove from the pan and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Divide romaine between two plates. Slice beef; arrange over romaine. Sprinkle with peanuts and basil; drizzle with dressing. Yield: 2 servings.

Tip

Keeping Lettuce Fresh

To store lettuce to keep it crisp and fresh, wash lettuce in cold water and drain very well. Use a “salad spinner” or pat it dry with paper towels. Store in a resealable plastic bag or airtight container with a dry paper towel in the bottom to absorb any leftover moisture. (Be certain to replace the towel if it gets wet.) For extra-crispy salads, you may want to use a lettuce variety like romaine that’s naturally more crisp.

Light-Bodied White Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a light-bodied white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.

This was not close to being good or even passable.I would never make this again.

We really enjoyed this salad. I doubled it for 3 of us including my teen son. Next time I might need to triple it. I topped it with chopped green onions.

The recipe was really tasty. Not a true Thai flavor (I lived in Thailand for five years) but the dressing was delightful. After cooking the steak, I chopped it into bite-sized pieces for easier eating, and I chopped the nuts. Next time I will add chopped green onions on top.
