Thai Beef with Spiralised Salad
NutsThis zesty Thai salad has been shared with us by Monica Falconer from Mixing with Monica. It is set to be a real crowd pleaser! It is such a great option for a satisfying salad that you can make from home. You can get creative with your herb and spice additions and include some coriander root, galangal, or even basil.
Recipe Tester Feedback: "A superbly cooked sliced beef on a Thai flavoured spiralised salad base. I would never have thought the meat had notbeen fried or cooked on the BBQ. I like that the meat was cooked whole and sliced later." - Cindy
