Spicy Grilled Beef Salad (Namtok Nuea)
7th January 2025
Spicy Grilled Beef Salad, or "Namtok Nuea", is a vibrant Thai dish bursting with bold flavors. Juicy grilled beef is thinly sliced and tossed in a tangy, spicy dressing made with tamarind, fish sauce, lime juice, chili powder, and toasted rice powder, creating a perfect balance of savory, sour, and spicy. Fresh herbs like mint, coriander, and kaffir lime leaves add a fragrant, refreshing touch, while sliced shallots provide subtle sweetness. This salad is an irresistible combination of tender meat, zesty dressing, and aromatic herbs, making it a flavorful centerpiece for any meal. The name "Namtok," which means "waterfall" in Thai, poetically describes the juices from the grilled beef "falling" onto the plate as it's sliced, representing the dish's rich, flavorful essence.
