East Texas Gourmands
This blog was created for 8 generous patrons of the Texas Shakespeare Festival that is held in Kilgore Texas and celebrating its 25th season. The patrons combined their love of theater and food by purchasing cooking lessons at a benefit for the festival. Recipes and photographs from the lessons will be placed on this blog. Sit back with a good glass of wine and have a feast with your eyes. Bon Appetite - or as we say in East Texas - Lezz Eat!

Print This Recipe

Thai Beef Salad

1 1/2 pounds of Flank Steak
Marinade
5 cloves of garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon of ginger
4 jalapeno peppers minced
3 tablespoons of sugar
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons of Sesame Oil
Salad
1/2 of the marinade
1 head of Boston Lettuce torn into managable pieces
1 cucumber sliced thinly
1 small onion or sliced green onion
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup basil leaves
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves

Mix the marinade together and spoon only HALF of it over the steak-keep the rest for the salad.

Grill the marinated steak until about 145 F to medium-rare. Let the steak cool to room temperature. Meanwhile assemble the salad.

Toss the salad together with the reserved marinade. Slice the steak into bite-size pieces and place atop the salad.
