Can your local deli counter inspire a cool Vietnamese-style meal? Definitely. Here, roast beef, already cooked to medium-rare (perfection, in our opinion), is a main player. Ingredients:
1/2 seedless cucumber |
5 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
3 tablespoons water |
3 tablespoons asian fish sauce |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes |
1 medium shallot, thinly sliced |
1 pound fresh pineapple chunks (about 4 cups) |
3/4 pound deli sliced roast beef |
12 long sprigs fresh mint |
Directions:
1. Halve cucumber lengthwise, then slice diagonally 1/4 inch thick.
2. Stir together lime juice, water, fish sauce, sugar, red-pepper flakes, and shallot in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved.
3. Arrange pineapple and cucumber on a platter and drizzle with some of dressing. Drape roast beef slices on top and arrange mint alongside. Serve with remaining dressing on the side.
