Hot Weather Eats

Today was the first day of the real summer heat.
Makes me want to eat fresh, crunchy and spicy things!!

Been enjoying Vietnamese steak salads as of late. Easier than you can even possibly imagine.

Step 1: Marinade strips of beef (any cut you like) in soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, and minced ginger and garlic. Chilies too if you like it hot. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes-2 days

Step 2: Stir fry sliced onions with a little bit of oil in a pan on medium high heat until softened. Add beef and marinade and cook until meat is tender and cooked. Add cracked black pepper.

Step 3: Fill a bowl with mixed greens, sliced basil, mint, cilantro, cucumbers and carrots. More chilies here if you love the heat.

Step 4: Top the salad with the beef and sauce, squeeze some lime juice and crack some pepper over it.

TUCK IN!!
