YUM! I used left over cooked steak and microwaved it so it was warm. For the sauce, I boiled a little water, added fish sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, tiny bit of chili sauce, and garlic. Let sauce cool, then pour it over the beef salad. Yes, with added water to the sauce it's a bit runny, but I like it! I omitted the mango and added carrots and bell peppers. It's sooooooooo good! Thanks!
