Vietnamese Steak Salad

The Cen-Tex Smoker

I guess salad is a bit misleading but this was really good. We did a steak marinated in soy, fish sauce, garlic, shallot, ginger, lime, sesame oil and Thai chili's. Grilled low on spider/cast iron, sliced thin and placed atop a salad consisting of greens, cellophane noodles, cilantro, mint, cucumber, and carrot. Winner, winner, skirt steak dinner.

we got the idea from the Williams-Sonoma salad book "365 days of Salad" and tweaked it a little. The salad was really nice by itself. We do charcoal pork in a similar way but we leave off the noodles and go all greens, sprouts, and veggies. I love the fish sauce/vinegar/chili sauce on the charcoal pork and may try it on the steak next time.

Looks great.  We're in little Vietnam here in Algiers.  Some friends of mine have a restaurant called Pho Tau Bay that I love.

I egged some skirt steak at 700F tonight, and SWMBO made some delicious bacon dressing, a fancy salad and a spaghetti squash casserole.  So we had at least two ingredients in common....  No Titos though....

I love pho- Salad looks great too- would be interested in the marinade. Is that what you used as dressing in the pic too?

Nice, very nice, we do a version of fusion we like with Korean bulgogi beef served over rice based  vermicelli Singapore noodles with daikon and greens - kinda of a far east salad. Usually use round, never thought of skirt.
