Instructions
- Make the vinaigrette:Whisk together the avocado oil, tamari, Thai sweet chili sauce, fish sauce, lime juice and zest, garlic, ginger, honey, and sesame seeds. Add sliced jalapeño if you like extra heat.
- Let the flavors meld (optional but recommended):If time allows, refrigerate the vinaigrette for about an hour to deepen the flavor.
- Season the steak:In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt, black pepper, granulated garlic, granulated onion, and Chinese five spice. Pat the steak dry and season evenly on all sides.
- Sear the steak:Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat and add a drizzle of avocado oil. Sear the steak for a few minutes per side, cooking to your preferred doneness.
- Rest and slice:Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Assemble the salad:Arrange the greens, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and avocado on a large platter or bowl.
- Finish and serve:Top with the sliced steak, drizzle generously with vinaigrette, and garnish with fresh mint, cilantro, and crushed peanuts. Serve immediately.
Notes
Limes: Some limes are juicier that others. Add the zest and juice of 1 lime to begin. Taste, and if you think it needs more, lime juice, add more.
