Just in time for Father’s Day, I made a delicious Thai grilled beef salad. With aged beef and fresh veggies and herbs, you can put together a healthy, satisfying meal that is sure to wow Dad and your guests. Also, I used four different cuts of meat from Snake River Farms, and I teach you how to butcher, grill, and slice them! This post contains affiliate links, but all opinions are my own.
Here are a few of my favorite cuts for this recipe: New York Strip | Flat Iron | Hanger | Skirt Steak
