Any excuse to use nuoc cham and rare beef

Use any salad you like - we are weird in Europe in that we make a salad from veg and variations on lettuce and then add a few herbs whereas in other parts of the world herbs are the salad. Tabouleh in the Middle East for example isn't parsley in salad, it's parsley as salad.

This one was lettuce, spring onion, fennel, tomatoes, chillis, grapes and importantly lots of Sweet Basil (Thai Basil as the supermarkets call it) and coriander.

I did it with beef but you could do it with chicken or fish or just on its own

Directions

Chop the salad vegetables into bite-sized chunks and arrange on a plate

Put a little oil, salt and pepper on a plate and make sure the steak is coated. Oil the steak not the pan

Cook the steak to your liking but rare is best for this

Mix a little dressing with vegetable oil and nuoc cham

Drizzle it over the salad

Place the rested meat on top

Serve with additional nuoc cham to spoon onto the meat
