Thai Beef Salad (Yam Neua)
This popular Thai salad is prized for its intensely flavored meat. Our version gets its punch from a piquant combination of white pepper and fish sauce. And a very hot grill and a brown sugar rub guarantees the steak gets to the table with a crisp, flavorful crust.

Tip
Don’t ignore the grain of the steak. Skirt steak has obvious muscle fibers running from one end to the other. Cutting the steak with the grain will result in tough slices. Cutting across the grain shortens the muscle fibers, producing tender, juicy meat.

Perfect
I back off on the chili flakes, but otherwise it’s perfect.

I'm never sure what a skirt steak is so used a flank steak. Delicious.

Great summer dish
Like others, I found it a tad acidic. Less lime juice and some cuke sounds like a good idea. I only cooked in a grill pan for about 2 1/2 minutes, so no char, but nice medium rare. Served it over mixed greens. Very quick meal to make compared to most that I do. Will surely do again.

Great balance of flavors and quite easy. Served over lettuce. Will make again.
The cookbook had a third option - grilling in a cast iron pan. That's not described here. Is it no longer recommended?
