Spicy Beef Salad

== Description ==
A classic Thai dish. My idea of a perfect Thai meal: Chicken Satay, Pad Thai, Spicy Beef Salad and Thai Iced Tea. Prep time does not include 1 hour of chilling time for dressing. Nothing really substitutes for lemongrass. Try looking for it in a local Asian market.
=== Ingredients ===
* 1 large tomato, cut into thin wedges
* 1 large sweet Onion, cut in half and thinly sliced
* 1 cucumber, diced
* 2 green onions, chopped
* 1 lb flank Steak
* 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
* 2 teaspoons ground coriander, divided
* 2 small fresh Thai peppers or Serrano peppers
* 1 stalk lemongrass, coarsely chopped
* 2 cloves garlic
* 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, chopped
* 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
* 1/4 cup sauce
* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
* 1 teaspoon Sugar
* mixed greens
* sliced green onions (to garnish)

Process remaining 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon coriander, Thai peppers, lemongrass, fresh lemon juice, rice wine vinegar, sauce, vegetable oil, and Sugar in a food processor until smooth.
