Ingredients

- garlic (Toast in the same pan used for the steak.)
- lime juice (Amount not specified.)
- fish sauce (Amount not specified.)
- sugar (Amount not specified.)
- Thai chilies (Use a generous amount for substantial heat, as described by the author.)
- shallots (Toss with the dressing before adding the remaining salad ingredients.)
- tomatoes (Amount and cut not specified.)

- toasted rice powder (Add at the end for nuttiness and crunch; amount not specified.)
Steps
- 1
Season the hanger steak with salt. If time allows, salt it one day in advance and leave it uncovered overnight so the seasoning penetrates the meat and the exterior dries for better browning.
- 2
Sear the steak until it develops a deep, flavorful crust. Let it rest after cooking; the author recommends medium doneness for hanger steak.
- 3
While the steak rests, toast the garlic in the same pan used for the steak so it picks up the browned fond and develops a sweet roasted-garlic flavor.
- 4
Put the toasted garlic in a bowl with the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and Thai chilies. Stir to make the dressing, using a generous amount of chilies if you want the salad notably hot.
- 5
Toss the shallots with the dressing.
- 6
Add the tomatoes, cucumbers, cilantro, mint, and Thai basil, and toss them with the dressed shallots.
- 7
Once the steak has rested, slice it thinly against the grain to keep it tender.
- 8
Add the sliced steak to the salad and toss so it absorbs the dressing.
- 9
Finish with toasted rice powder for nuttiness and a bit of crunch, then serve.
Notes
The source does not provide ingredient quantities, searing temperature, or exact cooking and resting times. It recommends salting the steak overnight when possible, cooking it to medium, slicing against the grain, and using a generous amount of Thai chilies for heat.
