Ingredients
  

Beef Salad with Vietnamese Dressing

  • 1/2 Cup fish sauce (patis)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons Calamansi Juice
  • 1 Table Spoon water
  • 3 pieces red chili pepper (siling labuyo) Optional
  • 3 small bundles vermicelli (sotanghon) noodles soaked on water
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 500 Grams Beef (use sirloin or tenderloin steak), each about 1/2-inch thick
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 head cabbage washed and sliced into thin strips (about 4 to 5 cups)
  • 1 piece carrot peeled and sliced into thin strip
  • 2 cups bean sprouts (togue) washed
  • 1 Cup basil leaves sliced into thin strips
  • 1 Cup mint leaves sliced into thin strips
  • 2 cups red cabbage (optional), thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • Make the Vietnamese dressing: Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside. (Dressing will keep for 5 days in the refrigerator.) If using chilies, the heat will intensify the longer you keep it.
  • Cook vermicelli noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse, drain again, and set aside.
     
  • Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side. Let rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing thinly into 2-mm-thick slices. Set aside.
     
  • Combine cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, basil leaves, mint leaves, and red cabbage, if using, in a large bowl. Add vermicelli noodles into the bowl and pour in dressing. Toss a couple of times to combine well.
  • Portion the salad among plates or containers and top with beef slices.
