Directions
Make the dressing: Place all dressing ingredients into a food processor and grind until a smooth paste forms.
Heat a frying pan or grill pan to medium-high. Drizzle steak with 2 teaspoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook steak until desired doneness (we like medium-rare for this recipe). Remove from heat, tent with foil and let rest for ten minutes.
To assemble the salad, thinly slice beef and layer in a serving bowl with remaining salad ingredients. Toss gently with dressing and garnish with herbs and peanuts. Serve immediately.
