- Add all dressing ingredients to a jar and shake vigorously to combine. Adjust lime, sugar and fish sauce to taste, then set aside to allow flavours to meld.
- Rub the steak with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.
- Heat a frying pan over high heat until screaming hot. Carefully place the steak into the hot pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your liking.
- Remove the beef from the pan and set aside on a board to rest for 10 minutes, then slice the beef into thin strips.
- Place the remaining salad ingredients, along with the beef, into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle over the dressing and toss to combine.
- Sprinkle with lemon myrtle powder and crushed peanuts. Serve immediately.
