Thai Style Eye Fillet Steaks With Cucumber & Chilli Salad
This is one of my favourite dishes of all time, and I have been making it for over 15 years! This dish is perfect for a simple weeknight meal or also amazing as an entertaining dish. You can prep everything the day before and basically just cook your steaks right before serving. Super easy!

Notes
If you are short on time, you don’t have to make the cucumber salad in advance and refrigerate it, but the flavour is definitely better when it gets time to marinate in the fridge.
