• 2 tablespoons peanut oil

• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

• 3 teaspoons Vietnamese fish sauce (nuoc mam)

• Juice of 1 lime (1/3 cup)

• 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar

• 1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes

• 1 pound thinly sliced roast beef, cut into 1/2-inch strips

• 1 head Boston or Bibb lettuce leaves, cut into thin strips

• 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, cut into thin strips

• 1/4 cup fresh mint, cut into thin strips

• 1 cup shredded or grated carrot

1. Make the marinade: In a large bowl, stir together the oil and garlic, and cook them in the microwave on high (100 percent power) for 1 minute. Add the fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and red pepper, and combine.

2. Marinate the roast beef: Toss in the roast beef and let it sit in the marinade for 15 minutes.

3. Toss the greens: In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, basil, and mint.

4. Compose the salad: Arrange some of the greens on each plate and sprinkle with the carrots. Lift the meat from the marinade, and arrange it on the greens.
