Instructions:

- Peel the carrot and cut it into thin julienne strips.
- Thinly slice the red onion.
- Slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons.

Tips:
- Use fresh and high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor. Fresh herbs and vegetables make a big difference in the taste of the salad.
- Don't overcook the beef. Aim for medium-rare to medium doneness to keep the beef tender and juicy.
- Allow the beef to rest for a few minutes after cooking before slicing it. This helps retain its juices and keeps it moist.
- Feel free to adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or fewer chili peppers based on your preference.
- If possible, prepare the salad shortly before serving to keep the vegetables crisp and vibrant.
- For added flavor, you can marinate the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil for about 30 minutes before cooking.
- Serve the salad with a side of jasmine rice or rice noodles for a complete and satisfying meal.
