Thai Beef Salad

"The chili paste heats this salad up. If you prefer our salad milder, use half of amount given. This recipe was found in Cooking Light magazine. Cook's note: I added 2 tablespoons rice vinegar and more chopped cilantro and mint as well as offering crused red chili flakes at the table to spice it up a bit more."

  1. I made this as written, except I didn't use any lettuce, and it was great. Oops I almost forgot I added some fresh jalapeno slices to give it a little more kick. Great recipe.
     
  2. Yum! This was so tasty and easy to make. I admit I used less lime juice than called for, and also threw in some basil. Thanks so much for sharing!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7. I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
