1 Video | Photo: Grilled Spicy Filet Mignon Salad with Ginger-Lime Dressing Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon chili paste with garlic
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
- 2 (12-ounce) filet mignons
- Freshly ground pepper
Directions
Whisk soy sauce, lime juice, chile paste, and peanut oil together in a small baking dish. Add the steaks, turn to coat, cover, and let marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Remove from the refrigerator 15 minutes before grilling.
Heat grill to high. Remove steaks from marinade and pat dry. Season both sides with pepper and grill for 3 minutes per side or until slightly charred and cooked to medium-rare doneness. Remove from the grill, let rest 5 minutes, and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Salad:
- 1 head Bibb lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
- 3 cups mizuna leaves, torn into bite-size pieces
- 1/4 cup chiffonade Thai basil or regular basil, optional
- 1/2 English cucumber, halved and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices
- 2 carrots, julienned
- 5 radishes, thinly sliced
- 8 each yellow and red cherry tomatoes, halved
- Ginger Lime Dressing, recipe follows
- Salt and ground black pepper
While steak is resting, combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl. Toss with half of the dressing and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a platter, top with the steak, and drizzle the remaining dressing over the top.
Ginger-Lime Dressing:
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon finely diced shallot
- 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
Whisk ingredients together in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Let sit 10 minutes before using.

This was - as usual with Bobby's recipes - a total hit. I used pork tenderloin, just because I had bought some the day before. Delicious!!! Even if you don't have the exact salad ingredients, using the marinade and the dressing goes with any kind of salad, even fruit. Cheers...

Super Delicious! I agree with another review that no flavor was lost and we loved it! the only thing I may change next time is the amount of lime juice. The dressing ended up a little tart but it was still good! I added hard boiled eggs and it was a great salad!
