Grilled Beef Salad (High-Protein)
Grilled sirloin steak sliced over a Thai-style yam neua salad with cucumber, cherry tomatoes, shallot, and hard-boiled egg, tossed in a lime-fish sauce dressing with chili, garlic, and cilantro. Extra egg lifts protein well past standard versions while toasted rice powder and roasted peanuts add crunch and fibre.

Instructions
1
Prep
Pat the sirloin dry, rub with salt and oil. Halve the boiled eggs, slice the cucumber and tomatoes, and set vegetables aside.
2
Toast the jasmine rice in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, shaking often, until golden and fragrant. Cool, then grind to coarse powder.
3
Grill the steak on a hot grill pan over high heat for 3–4 minutes per side until charred outside and springy to touch for medium-rare.
4
Rest the steak on a cutting board for 5 minutes to allow juices to settle.
5
Whisk the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, minced garlic, and sliced chili together until the sugar dissolves completely.
6
Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain and toss in a bowl with cucumber, tomatoes, shallot, cilantro, and mint.
7
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is evenly coated and glistening.
8
Plate
Mound the salad on a plate, tuck in the egg halves, scatter rice powder and peanuts on top.
