Hot and Sour Asian Beef Salad

This is what I make for myself when there is nobody else I have to cook for - the flavours are really amazing. The recipe here will serve two as a light dish, but I tend to eat the whole lot!

Serves 2

0.5 syns per serving on Original and Extra Easy

Ingredients

250g sirloin steak

salad leaves

2 tablespoons Thai fish sauce (nam pla)

2 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon sugar (palm sugar if you want to be authentic, otherwise demerara, golden or just granulated)

1 red chilli, finely chopped (use a green one or just half a chilli if you want a milder flavour)

1 tablespoon each mint and coriander, chopped

Method

1. Cook the steak to your liking (ideally rare)
2. When cooked, wrap in foil and leave to one side

4. Make the dressing: mix the fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, chilli and spring onions together
5. Open the foil and tip any juices into the dressing
