If you only grill one thing this season...

Let it be this classic Northeastern Thai dish!

Sawaddee Ka! 🙏🏼

I don’t know about you but as someone living in Canada, I am SO excited for the weather to warm up and for grilling season to begin. And if there is only one thing you grill this summer, let it be this Thai “waterfall” steak salad or nam tok น้ำตก, because the flavours will surprise you, and it’ll redefine how you think about steak salad.

As one YouTube viewer commented:

This dish changed my life, it's so intense that it makes most other food seem boring.

I couldn’t have put it better. It’s not steak slices sitting on top of a bowl of greens, it’s a salad made almost entirely of juicy marinated grilled steak. It’s satisfying, but the herbs and the spicy tart dressing keep it light.

It could be considered the lesser known sister of laab. Not because it’s not as good, but because it’s harder for restaurants to do well, since it involves grilling, so it’s not commonly served. But if you ask me…I’d take nam tok over laab any day!
