Ingredients

4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 Thai bird chile, chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 to 3 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup peanut oil
1 1/2 pounds beef tenderloin
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Papaya Dressing, recipe follows

Directions

Place garlic, chile, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and oil in a mini food processor and process until smooth. Place beef in a small baking dish, pour the marinade over, and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Preheat the grill to medium-high. Remove the beef from the marinade and season it with salt and pepper. Grill meat until charred and cooked to medium-rare doneness, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from grill and let rest 10 minutes before slicing into 1/4-inch thick slices.

Papaya Dressing:

1 shallot, peeled and finely chopped
2 Thai bird chiles, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
8 large red romaine lettuce leaves, cut into strips
1 bunch watercress
1 large green papaya, peeled and thinly shredded
2 carrots, peeled and thinly shredded
1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts, for garnish
Chopped cilantro, for garnish

In a small bowl, whisk together the shallot, chiles, mint, vinegar, sugar, and fish sauce. Set aside. In another bowl, toss the lettuce leaves and watercress together and then arrange the mixture on a platter.

Combine the papaya and carrots in a medium bowl. Evenly distribute the papaya mixture over the lettuce. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of the dressing. Arrange the steak on top and drizzle steak with some more dressing. Garnish with chopped peanuts and cilantro.

SHOW STOPPER!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made this for friends and they loved it!!! used jalapenos to keep the heat moderate. oh, and I also added white rice... i... would recommend jasmine rice because of the thai background this recipe has. One of my friends told me this taste just like something i had in a thai restraunt they had in washington state.... I live in north carolina and have never heard of anything like this. I think i did this one justice. Thanks Mr. Flay. Read more

Delicious

Wonderful balance of flavors. I did use it on tenderloin, but would be great on a less expensive cut of beef, or chicken,... seafood, etc.Read more

Wow
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was great. The marinade for the steak was amazing and I would use this again even without the salad. This salad reminded... me of papaya salad I have had at Thai restaurants in California and Hawaii. I used a mandaline to slice the papaya into wide strips (like fetucinni) more in the Asian style. We really enjoyed this salad.Read more
