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.

Would have given this 5 stars but it was way too spicy, and this is coming from someone who likes things spicy! I was the only person who could handle the dressing on the salad. Everyone else just ate the steak (which was deliciously marinated, thank you Bobby. Will make this again, but will watch how many of those chilis I use next time!

The steak was amazing. I subbed the fish sauce for soy sauce because I'm allergic to sea food and it came out great.

Great recipe and easy to do. Could not find the Tai Bird Chiles so substituted a chile paste instead. This is one I would ewasily choose for a dinner party.
