Put the beef into pre-heated oven at 225 degrees for 20 minutes. Ensure the tray sits within the top 1/3 of the oven.
For the Salad Dressing…
Chop up a 1 cm piece of palm sugar and put into a mortar and pesal. Cut up 1-2 tablespoons of mint. Squeeze 1 full lime into the mixture. Mix all together.
Add in fish sauce, sweet chilli sauce and sesame oil and top up with a plain oil like peanut oil. Mix together and grind well, leaving some chunky bits. Taste dressing and add in additional ingredients to meet your satisfaction.
