Neua Yang Nam Tok Grilled Beef Herb Sauce, plated and ready to serve

Nam Tok Neua (see Chapter 3) made with whole grilled steak rather than the minced variation — the result is more elegant and better suited to dinner. A thick ribeye or sirloin is grilled to medium-rare, rested until the juices redistribute, then sliced and immediately tossed in the bright, herbal Isan dressing.

Health Benefits

  • Ribeye steak provides oleic acid, the same monounsaturated fat found in olive oil, which supports heart health.
  • The brief rest period allows residual enzymatic activity to continue tenderising the meat.
  • Toasted rice powder adds a nutty flavour and satisfying texture without needing any flour.

Pairs Well With

  • Pad Pak Ruam Mixed Vegetables Oyster Sauce
  • Yam Hed Mixed Mushroom Salad
