Recipe: Thai Grilled Steak Salad Recipes From The Kitchn
Call me crazy, but when the weather heats up, I don't feel like eating big hunks of meat. Slow and sluggish might work for winter when everyone is half-hibernating anyway, but in the summer, salads like this are what I want to eat — full of freshness and crunch, with a salty-tart lime dressing and just the right amount of juicy grilled steak. This is my take on the classic Thai salad yam neua , which is the dish I suggest to friends who are looking to escape from the usual pad thai rut at Thai restaurants.When I think about throwing a dinner party, especially a big one like this polenta supper I'm sharing with you this week, my thoughts immediately go to: What can I make ahead? Last week, I had an easy answer: a shredded, succulent mess of beef braised in red wine and tomatoes, falling apart in its juices. It's a terrific make-ahead dish, since like most braises, this beef gets better overnight, and takes all the stress of a main dish off your hands entirely.
