Ingredients:

3 beef fillets
600g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
1 cup rice noodles
230g
2 red hot chili peppers
80g
1/3 cup brown sugar
72g
2 tbsp lime juice
30g
2 tbsp fish sauce
30g
2 tomatoes
260g
1 cup basil leaves
7g
1/2 cup coriander leaves
8g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef:
- Lightly season the beef fillets with salt and pepper.
- Lightly spray a frying pan with cooking spray and heat it over medium-high heat.
- Sear the beef fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Remove from the pan and allow to rest for a few minutes before thinly slicing.
2. Cook the Noodles:
- While the beef cooks, bring a pot of water to a boil.
- Add the rice noodles to the boiling water.
- Cook according to package instructions, usually about 4-6 minutes, until tender.
- Drain and rinse the noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Dressing:
- In a bowl, mix together the finely chopped red hot chili peppers, brown sugar, lime juice, and fish sauce until the sugar is fully dissolved. This will serve as the salad dressing.
4. Assemble the Salad:
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked and cooled rice noodles, sliced tomatoes, basil leaves, and coriander leaves.
- Add the sliced beef to the bowl.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all ingredients, making sure everything is evenly coated.
5. Serve:
- Transfer the salad to a serving plate or individual bowls.
- Garnish with additional basil or coriander leaves if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, flavorful Tomato, Lime & Beef Salad with Cellophane Noodles!

Tips:

- When cooking the beef fillets, avoid overcooking to ensure the meat remains tender and juicy.

- If you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce the amount of chili peppers or remove the seeds to lessen the heat.

- Soak the rice noodles in hot water instead of boiling them to maintain their delicate texture.

- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a splash of soy sauce or a sprinkle of crushed peanuts on top of the salad.

- Serve the salad immediately after tossing to keep the ingredients fresh and vibrant.
