- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 cups mixed greens

- 1/2 cup vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions:
Season the flank steak with salt and pepper
In a bowl, combine minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, fish sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes to make the marinade
Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour half of the marinade over it
Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and grill the steak for about 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your desired doneness
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain
While the steak is resting, heat the vegetable oil in a small pan over medium-high heat
Add the sliced shallots and fry until crispy and golden brown
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels
In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cucumber slices, thinly sliced red onion, fresh cilantro leaves, fresh mint leaves, and fresh basil leaves
Add the sliced grilled beef on top of the salad
Drizzle the remaining marinade over the salad and beef
Top the salad with chopped peanuts and crispy fried shallots
Serve immediately and enjoy
