Beef and Winged Bean Salad

Method

1. 1 Sear the beef over high heat for 90 seconds on each side, then let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
2. 2 Remove the fibrous parts from both sides of the winged bean and then slice it diagonally into 3 mm thick slices.
3. 3 Blanch winged beans for 40 seconds, then soak them in ice water; blanching them for longer will cause them to lose their characteristic crispness.
4. 4 Mix the dressing by combining fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and chopped chili peppers until it reaches the desired balance of sour and salty flavors.
5. 5 Mix the beef with winged beans, red onion, and herbs just before serving, then sprinkle with roasted peanuts.
