Beef with Cashew Nam Jim and Asian Greens
My family love an all in one kind of salad, where you add meat to your salad. This one was absolutely delicious. The cashew nam jim was perfect with the beef and the asian greens.
Now I cooked my beef rare, just cook yours longer if you prefer it cooked more.
This is a great dish, it looks amazing and it's fresh flavour leaves a delicious taste in your mouth with every bite.
My family loved this, hope your does to.

Make cashew nam jim: Blend shallots, garlic, chilli, coriander root, ginger, sugar and cashews (or pound with a mortar and pestle) until mixture forms a paste. Transfer to a small bowl; stir in juice and fish sauce to taste.
Trim fat from beef; rub beef with oil, season to taste. Cook beef on a heated oiled grill plate (or grill or barbecue) over medium-high heat for 4 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking. Remove from heat; rest, covered, for 5 minutes, then slice thickly.
Meanwhile, trim gai lan stalks; cut stalks from leaves. Steam stalks, in a single layer, in a large steamer over a wok or large saucepan of boiling water for 1 minute. Place separated pak choy on top; steam (or boil) for a further 2 minutes. Add snow peas and gai lan leaves; steam (or boil) for a further 2 minutes or until vegetables are just tender.
Place vegetables on a platter, top with beef; drizzle with beef resting juices. Spoon nam jim on beef; top with green onion, cashews and coriander.
Enjoy!
