Ingredients

• 2 thick New York steaks
• Salt and oil (for grilling)
• 200g rice vermicelli
• 1 cup mint leaves
• 1 cup Thai basil leaves
• 1 cup coriander leaves
• 1 punnet cherry tomatoes
• 2 limes
• 1 clove garlic (finely minced)
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp fish sauce
• 2 tsp Sesame oil
• 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
• 1/4 cup fried shallots
• 1/2 cup roughly chopped salted cashews
• Chilli flakes (to taste)
• Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

1. Soak the rice vermicelli in cold water until they are very soft or until you're ready to serve.
2. Preheat the grill or barbecue. Bring the New York steaks to room temperature, then rub them with oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill the steaks for about 5 minutes on one side for rare to medium rare, then flip and grill for an additional 2 minutes on the other side. Remove from heat and rest under foil.
3. Meanwhile, Quarter the cherry tomatoes and place them in a large serving bowl. Squeeze the juice of 2 limes over the tomatoes. Add the minced garlic, brown sugar, and fish sauce to the bowl. Let the mixture macerate while you finish preparing other ingredients.
4. Place the mint, Thai basil, and coriander leaves in a bowl of water with ice cubes to keep them fresh until serving.
5. Cut then drain the vermicelli into 5 cm strips for easy eating then drizzle with sesame oil.
6. Once fully rested, slice the grilled steak into thin strips then season slices with salt.
7. Add the vermicelli and steak to the serving bowl with the dressing. Add shredded iceberg lettuce, herbs, fried shallots, and chopped cashews.
8. Serve: Toss everything together to combine. Serve the salad with additional chilli flakes and lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
