This beef salad is sensational, it brings fond childhood memories of my uncle and his drinking buddies. They frequently get together on weekends and order ‘Do Nhau’ meaning beer drinking food from the local restaurants. While the other kids were busy entertaining each other, I would sit with the adults and enjoy the food.
This deliciously simple salad of finely sliced beef, cured in lime juice and tossed with fresh herbs is incredible. It’s sweet, sour, slightly salty, soft and crunchy. A perfect balance of textures and flavours, typical example of South-East Asian salad.
If you have concerns eating beef prepared in this method, using grilled beef is a fantastic alternative.
