Ingredients

90ml Filippo Berio Mild & Light Olive Oil
2 x 225g sirloin steaks, trimmed
3 tomatoes, deseeded and sliced
1 red onion, sliced
1 cucumber, deseeded and sliced into sticks
100g beansprouts
1 long thin red chilli, deseeded and sliced

Juice 1 lime
2 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp fish sauce
1" ginger, minced

Method

Heat 2 tbsp of the Filippo Berio Mild & Light Olive Oil in a frying pan. Add the steak and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning once until brown on the outside and medium rare inside. Add 1 clove of minced garlic and 1" minced ginger to the pan when cooking your steak. Be careful not to burn the garlic and set aside the meat once cooked.
Place the tomatoes, onion, cucumber, beansprouts, chilli and mint in a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
Thinly slice the steak. Divide the salad between four serving plates; spoon dressing into a small dish. Top each salad with the slices of steak. Serve immediately.
