Marinated thai skirt steak with a cucumber and herb salad with a jaew sauce for dipping (which is an amazing thai dried chili dipping sauce). The sauce is made with shallots, cilantro, rice powder, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar and red pepper flakes that is extremely addicting.
The steak is marinated in a simple mix of soy sauce, brown sugar, fresh ginger and olive oil. Make this for simple summer night al fresco, or pack for the next day for lunch – such an easy dish that is easily rewarded in flavor.
