Eat and Repeat—Crispy Thai Beef Salad with Ginger Lime Dressing

Everything about this salad is magical.  From the crispy seared beef–to the crunchy radishes, carrots, and cucumbers. Then texture in wonton strips and peanuts, and drizzle with a splash of ginger lime freshness.   I’m making this steak all summer.  Yes, ALL SUMMER.  I will probably make it when you come over too.  And when you make it I think your neighbors might peak over the grill to see what smells so darn good.

Tip: I used sirloin for my cut of steak.  It’s a less tender cut than filet but equally as good when marinated.
