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
