For the beef:
4 x The Meat Box Eye Fillet Steaks
2 Tbsp olive oil
Zest of ½ lime
½ finely chopped chilli or ½ tspn chilli flakes
Generous pinch of salt and pepper
For the salad:
4 small radish thinly sliced
½ cucumber ribboned
½ bunch coriander
½ bunch fresh basil
Small handful fresh mint leaves

1/2 punnet cherry tomatoes sliced in half
1 bag of baby spinach
1 red chilli thinly sliced (optional)
1/2 thinly sliced paw paw (or mango would also work)
1/2 pink dragonfruit diced (optional)
Prepare your marinade ingredients and mix all together with your beef. Allow to sit on the bench in the marinade for 30 minutes to come to room temperature before cooking. Meanwhile prepare all your salad ingredients. Arrange salad ingredients in a bowl and heat a pan on a medium to high heat. Grill your steaks for 4 minutes per side if you like medium/rare or a few minutes longer for a more medium-well done. Remove steaks from the pan and let rest covered in foil for 5 minutes. Then slice and arrange on top of your salad. Sprinkle with crushed peanuts. We served this with our Nam Jim Jaew spicy Thai dressing, don’t forget to check out the recipe for this too! It’s got a kick to it so if you love spice it will be right up your alley, if you don’t love spice just use less chilli we promise you will still love it!
