Ingredients

– 1 tablespoon lime juice

– 1 garlic clove, minced
– 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)

Instructions
Creating Thai Beef Salad Cucumber Bites is a simple process when you follow these steps:
1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, and red chili flakes. Add the flank steak, ensuring it’s well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Cook the Steak: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated steak for about 5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
3. Slice the Steak: Once rested, slice the steak thinly against the grain. This ensures tenderness in each bite.
4. Prepare the Cucumbers: While the steak is resting, slice the cucumber into thick rounds. These will serve as the base for your bites.
5. Assemble the Bites: On each cucumber slice, place a few pieces of the sliced steak. Top with a small handful of mixed greens.
6. Garnish: Sprinkle crushed peanuts over each assembled bite for added crunch and flavor.
7. Serve with Lime Wedges: Arrange the cucumber bites on a serving platter and add lime wedges for squeezing over the top just before eating.
