Directions

Step 1
Pat beef dry. Rub with a little oil, salt, and pepper. Grill or pan-fry beef to your desired doneness (medium-rare is recommended), about 3-5 minutes per side. Let rest for 5 minutes, then thinly slice against the grain.
Step 2
While beef rests, prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together fish sauce, lime juice, dissolved palm sugar, and crushed bird's eye chilies. Add sticky rice powder if using.
Step 3
Add sliced red onion, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and celery to the dressing. Toss gently to combine.
Step 4
Add the sliced beef, mint leaves, and cilantro to the bowl. Toss everything together, ensuring the beef and vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
Step 5
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately.
