What you’ll need:

• 125g Lean Beef Steak
• Salt and Pepper to Taste
• 1 ½ Cups of Salad Greens
• ⅓ Cup of Cucumber
• ⅓ Cup of Cherry Tomatoes
• 2 tbsp Red Onion
• ⅓ Cup Cooked Quinoa - or Brown Rice
• 1 tsp of Sesame Oil
• 1 tbsp of Coconut Aminos or Low-Salt Soy Sauce
• Juice of Half a Lime
• 1 tsp Sesame Seeds
• Olive Oil Spray for cooking

Utensils:

• Frypan
• Small Bowl

Step 1:

To prepare the beef, start by sprinkling salt and pepper on both sides of the steak, gently rubbing the seasoning with your fingers.

Preheat the frypan and spray it with olive oil.

Place the seasoned beef on the hot frypan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred level of doneness - 2 minutes for medium-rare, 3 minutes for cooked through.

Once cooked, allow for the beef to rest for a couple of minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 2: 

It’s time to make the flavourful Thai-style sesame dressing!

In a small bowl, combine the coconut aminos - or low-salt sauce - sesame oil, and lime juice.

Mix the ingredients well and set the dressing aside.

Step 3: 

To assemble the salad, start by arranging a bed of fresh salad greens on a plate or in a bowl.

Top the greens with sliced beef, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.

For an extra dose of healthy gains, sprinkle the cooked quinoa - or brown rice - over the vibrant vegetables. 

Step 4:

Now it’s time to add the final touches!

Drizzle the prepared Thai-style sesame dressing over the salad, ensuring each ingredient gets coated with the delicious flavours. 

For added texture and nuttiness, sprinkle some sesame seeds over the top.

Once everything is assembled, it’s time to enjoy it!

Mix all the components together to combine the flavours and textures.
