Cooking Steps
- Peel cucumber, if desired, then cut into 1/4-inch rounds.
- Peel, then halve carrot lengthwise and slice into 1/4-inch half-moons.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Thinly slice green onions.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add peanuts to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on peanuts so they don't burn.)
- Transfer to a small bowl.
- Add beef, Thai Seasoning, garlic, soy sauce and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt to a medium bowl. Season with pepper, then combine.
- Divide beef mixture into 8 equal portions (16 portions for 4 ppl).
- Roll into balls, then flatten into 1/2-inch-thick patties. (NOTE: Your mixture may look wet; this is normal. In step 4, you can carefully reshape patties when cooking.)
- Heat the same pan (from step 2) over medium.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then patties. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in 2 batches if needed, using 1 tbsp oil per batch.)
- Cook, until browned all over and cooked through, 4-5 min per side.**
- Meanwhile, whisk together half the sweet chili sauce, vinegar and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil in a large bowl.
- Add spring mix, carrots, green onions and cucumbers. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Remove the pan from heat, then add remaining sweet chili sauce. Gently toss to coat patties.
- Divide salad between bowls. Top with patties.
- Sprinkle peanuts over top.
