The key to making the perfect Bun Bo Spicy Peanut lies in the quality of your ingredients. Start by sourcing the freshest herbs you can find – we recommend using a combination of cilantro, mint, and Thai basil for a truly aromatic experience. For the beef, opt for a tender cut like sirloin or flank steak, and marinate it in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, garlic, and lemongrass before grilling to perfection.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
• 8 oz rice noodles
• 1/2 cup roasted peanuts, crushed
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh Thai basil, chopped
• 1/4 cup pickled carrots
• 1/4 cup pickled daikon radish
• 1/4 cup bean sprouts
• 1/4 cup cucumber, julienned
• 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup scallions, chopped

For the marinade:

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp fish sauce
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp lemongrass, minced

For the spicy peanut dressing:

Combine the following ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth:

• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp Sriracha
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup water

Instructions:

To start, marinate the sliced beef in a mixture of garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and lemongrass for at least 30 minutes. While the beef is marinating, cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions, then rinse under cold water and set aside.

Next, grill the marinated beef over high heat until cooked to your desired level of doneness. Once cooked, let the beef rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice noodles, sliced beef, crushed peanuts, chopped cilantro, mint, Thai basil, pickled carrots, pickled daikon radish, bean sprouts, cucumber, red onion, and scallions. Toss everything together until well combined.

Pour the spicy peanut dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more soy sauce, honey, or Sriracha to suit your preferences.

Divide the Bun Bo Spicy Peanut salad into individual bowls and garnish with extra peanuts, herbs, and a wedge of lime. Serve immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors in every bite!
