Directions
-
Prepare a charcoal or gas grill to high heat before starting other prep work.
-
Rinse and dry the romaine lettuce, then tear or chop it into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
-
Thinly slice the cucumber, radishes, and red onion, and add them to the salad bowl.
-
Chop the scallions into 1-inch lengths and add to the bowl along with mint, basil, and cilantro leaves.
-
Brush the thin slices of top sirloin beef with salad oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
-
Grill the beef slices for about 2 minutes per side, or until just cooked through but still tender.
-
While the meat is still hot, cut the grilled beef into 1/2-inch strips.
-
Add the hot beef strips immediately to the salad bowl, allowing the residual heat to slightly wilt the greens.
-
If any flavorful juices accumulated on the grill plate, drizzle them into the dressing mixture.
-
Toss the salad vigorously with the Thai fish sauce dressing until all ingredients are evenly coated.
-
Serve immediately alongside hot steamed rice or crusty bread for dipping.
