Beef tenderloin is very good source of lean protein. I love this salad! It is one of my preferred me meals on my low calorie days. It does not compromise the taste yet it is low in carbs and not caloric. And very quick to do. You can prepare the beef in advance and just quickly fry it on pan for great dinner in minutes. Try it, you will love it!
You need:
Beef tenderloin
Fresh chilli
Garlic
Soya sauce
Chinese cooking wine (optional)
Starch
Peanut oil
Mixed green salad
Peanuts
Sweet chilli sauce
Spring onions
Red onion (¼)
Cucumber
Fish sauce
Lime
Sesame oil
Start with preparing the marinade. Wash the chilli, clean it from the seeds and chop. I highly recommend you use rubber gloves for this step. Put in a bowl together with finely chopped garlic, just a little bit of soya sauce, a splash of Chinese cooking wine and little of starch (careful with the amount). Slice the beef the thinnest slices you can do. The thinner the better, the more taste it will absorb. Just put it all together and mix it well in a bowl. Leave it for 15 minutes. The beef should not be covered in sauce, you have to make and use just a small amount of marinade otherwise you will make the beef too salty (if you use too much of soya sauce).
Meanwhile wash the salad and put it in a big salad bowl. Slice the cucumbers, red onion and spring onions and put it all together with the greens. Mix together small amount of sweet chilli sauce, splash of fish sauce, few drops of sesame oil and juice from one small lime for the dressing. Mix well with the salad.
Put some peanut oil in a hot pan and stir-fry the beef in bunches. Place it on the top of the salad and sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
And you are done!
Bon appetite!
