Why This Dish Is Worth Trying

This dish offers a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors. The fresh mango adds a juicy brightness, while the flank steak brings a satisfying, smoky richness. It’s a light yet filling meal that’s great for warm weather or any time you want something refreshing and flavorful.

Helpful Chef Tips

- Use ripe but firm mangoes to ensure a good texture in the salad.
- Let the flank steak rest after cooking to keep it tender and juicy.
- Toss the salad just before serving to keep the ingredients fresh and crisp.

Step 1

Combine the light soy sauce, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a resealable bag. Add the flank steak, seal it up, and pop it in the fridge to marinate for up to two hours.

Step 2

When you’re ready to cook, heat your grill to medium-high and give the grates a light oiling so the steak doesn’t stick.

Step 3

While the grill is heating, toss together the mango, salad greens, bean sprouts, shredded carrot, and snow peas in a big bowl. Then add the peanuts, fresh mint, cilantro, Thai basil, and green onion for a burst of flavor.

Step 4

Take the steak out of the marinade (discard the marinade) and place it on the grill. Cook it for about 10 minutes, turning every few minutes until it’s nicely browned on the outside but still a little pink inside. You’re aiming for around 140°F (60°C) if you have a thermometer. Once done, move the steak to a plate, cover it loosely with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 5

While the steak rests, whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, and finely chopped shallot in a small bowl. Stir in the chili pepper, then pour this dressing over your salad and toss everything gently to combine.

Step 6

Slice the steak thinly against the grain, then pile the slices on top of the salad. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Serving Inspiration

Serve this salad on a bed of fresh greens or alongside steamed jasmine rice for a complete meal. It also pairs well with cold beer or a light, citrusy white wine to complement the bright flavors.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the dressing separate if possible to prevent the salad from becoming soggy. Reheat the steak gently or enjoy it cold for best results.
