Thai Beef Salad

I can't give it 5 stars because I didn't make the beef this way (I used the maple and soy glazed flank steak recipe from CL and had wanted a nice salad with mandarins to go with it), but the salad was GREAT. The perfect balance of spicy and sweet, and so fresh. Made the red meat feel pretty guiltless. I would definitely make again. I actually made it for my mother at her place and she said it was the best thing I'd ever made for her. So. Pretty glowing reviews. Definite keeper.

We've made this several times & followed the recipe exactly, except we used a cheaper cut of meat: eye of round steak, although grass-fed & organic. It was easy & extremely good. It is spicy & the only sweetness comes from the mandarin oranges, both of which are pluses for us. (We love spicy food & neither of us cares for sweet main dishes.)

This turned out awesome! I love the orange flavor in the sauce!

I saved this recipe because I was interested in making the salad as a side. It was fantastic! I loved how flavorful it was, especially thanks to the fresh basil. I basically halved the recipe and eliminated the napa cabbage, so it was more like a slaw than a salad. I even at the leftovers the next day at lunch.

I wasn't quite as thrilled as others reviewing. I think I may have enjoyed grilled tenderloin instead of fried. Did really like the dressing!

Great flavor. My Asian chilli sauce is very spicy so I need to back off on how much to add next time. But it was still very good.

Excellent flavor. I subbed bean sprouts and gourmet mushroom mix in place of the cucumber and cabbage. Great dish and easy to prepare.

This was so good and flavorful. Both my husband and I loved it. It's great if you really want some beef but are trying to limit it for calorie or health reasons.

This dish was really easy and only took about 20 minutes to make. I agree with all the previous reviewers, except that the dressing could have used some sweetness. I was expecting the kick from the serrano pepper, but I also expected something sweet. I might add some brown sugar next time.
