Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
