Start by shaving palm sugar for the marinade and dressing.

Add a little bit of palm sugar to the marinade and set the rest aside for the dressing.

Add fish sauce and black pepper to the marinade.

Place ribeye steak in the marinade for a couple of minutes.

Prepare the dressing by mixing the shaved palm sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice, squishing the palm sugar to help it dissolve.

Heat a pan with oil for cooking the steak.

Cook the steak on high heat to get a good color, flipping it occasionally until it reaches medium rare.

Let the steak rest for 5 to 10 minutes after cooking.

Prepare salad ingredients: cut a small onion into thin wedges, chop a tomato (or use cherry tomatoes), and remove seeds from cucumber before chopping it into irregular pieces.

Chop cilantro, including the stems, and add spring onion and mint leaves to the salad.

Slice the rested steak thinly and add it to the salad ingredients.

Give the dressing a final stir and spoon about half of it over the salad, mixing gently to combine.
