Ingredients

12 oz (350 g) leftover roast beef sliced
2 carrots, cut into julienne strips
onion, cut into thin strips
4 oz (125 g) bamboo shoots
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
handful of fresh mint leaves
handful of fresh basil leaves
handful of fresh cilantro (coriander), leaves only, plus extra for garnish
juice of 1 lime
2 to 3 tsp granulated sugar
1 fresh Thai or other small red hot chile pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 to 2 tbsp Asian fish sauce, such as nam pla

Directions

Combine the beef, carrots, onion, bamboo shoots, mint, basil, and cilantro in a large bowl, and toss gently to mix. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
To make the dressing, in a small bowl, mix together the lime juice, sugar, chile, and fish sauce. Taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. Pour the dressing over the salad, then garnish with extra cilantro leaves. Serve with roasted baby new potatoes on the side, if desired.

Raw onion can be strong if you prefer a milder flavor, soak the strips of onion in cold water for 10 minutes before using, or use finely sliced scallions instead.
