Beef salad

The full riot of flavors that sets Southeast Asian cuisine apart from its northern cousins comes together in one Styrofoam box: herbaceous mint, cilantro, tangy lime, in-your-face chilis, raw onion and softly poached but chewy beef on a lush bed of greens. Adjust the seasonings to taste by drizzling on some chili-laced fish sauce, chili oil or chili vinegar sitting on the counter.
