Instructions
Prepare the sesame mayonnaise by mixing mayo with the sesame oil and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Mix all ingredients for the beef marinade and pour it into a plastic bag. Add the beef and marinate for 15 minutes or more at room temperature.
Divide all the chopped vegetables, except the scallions, between two plates.
Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add sesame seeds to the dry pan, and toast them for a couple of minutes, or until they’re lightly browned and fragrant. Set aside.
Pat the meat dry on both sides with paper towels. On high heat, sear for a minute or two on each side, and then reduce heat to medium-low, cooking until beef is medium, and then transfer to a cutting board.
Fry the scallions for a minute in the same pan.
Slice the meat, across the grain, into thin slices. Place beef and scallions on top of the vegetables.
Top with roasted sesame seeds and serve with a dollop of sesame mayonnaise on the side.
Tip
In this dish, the beef is best served medium, but you can make it well done if you prefer.
Craving a bit of variety? Try swapping in salmon or pre-cooked chicken instead of beef.

Made this tonight. It was delicious, maybe one of the best things I've made from diet doctor. Of course, there was a ribeye steak sitting on top so how can you go wrong! Why is the dressing called "mayonnaise"? There is no mayonnaise in the ingredients but I ask because the picture shows something on the side that looks like a mayonnaise dressing. Did I miss something?

I was looking for a recipe using a beef roast as that is what I have on hand at the moment. So I think I will triple this recipe since my roast is 3 pounds or may quadruple this. I will use my Instant Pot with the marinade in it and hope for the best. I am having a difficult time finding keto recipes using the meat I already have in my freezer. So hoping this will work.

Justin, mayonnaise is made from egg yolk and oil. They are just making homemade mayonnaise.

Just wondering how 1 serving contains 11 grams of carbs? Following nutrition facts, I ended up with smaller value.
P.S. It's very difficult to follow the rules when 10 different sources give 10 different versions of nutrition info.... how to know which info is the only correct one?

Hi Andy!
Unfortunately nutritional info is no exact science. We just have to try to do our best. :)

So I don’t use any oil to fry steak in? Just fry in medium hot pan by itself, right?

I don't know why but this recipe was anything but easy for me, beginning with the *$#@! mayo! Mine separated and I spent sooooo much time trying to fix it before throwing it all out and grabbing a jar from the fridge. Once I followed the "tip for time" I was in business and must say the marinaded steak was AMAZING! Will save this recipe just for that. If anything, making mayo with a whisk feels next to impossible. Save your sanity and doctor a store-bought organic mayo or use an immersion blender.

Loved this! Didn't want to faff around with mayo (and can't wrap my head around the idea of mayo on a salad), so just served with avocado oil, sesame oil and lime juice. Really, really good! I agree with the previous poster that this is probably my favorite recipe on this site so far!

Hi, if I want to make this for dinner + have left overs for lunch the next day, for TWO people, what serving option do I select? Do I select 2 servings or 4 servings? Thanks

This made enough for 5 servings for supper! I was confused about the mayo being on the side though. It felt like it should be a dressing that the sald portion should be tossed in, perhaps. Otherwise, how do you eat this? Do you take a forkful and dip it into the mayo? Do you dab it across the top? It would be nice if you could add some clarification on this point. Great recipe overall!

This is fantastic but you don't have to use an expensive cut of meat. I made it again last night with hamburgers on the grill! I made the patties, let them marinate for about 30 minutes at room temp then grilled them. I had leftover Sesame Mayo (from the Asian Beef Salad meal) that I slathered on the grilled burgers. I served them with a salad with Sesame-Ginger dressing (store bought). Oh my god, so good.

The dressing ingredients are the same ingredients used to make homemade mayo. If you don't pour in the extra light olive oil slowly and use a blender it won't emulsify. The first few times you try to make mayo it can be tricky.

Made this for lunch and it was DELISH!! I wisked the ingredients for the mayo together and it came out great - need to pour the avo oil in very slowly. I figured it must be the dressing - I accidentally used spicy sesame oil but loved the kick! Looking forward to eating leftovers tomorrow.

Prepared this ahead of time to take for lunch. Nice and filling and love the flavor combinations. I will cut back a little bit of the sesame oil as it was quite overpowering, and I love sesame oil.

I don’t like fish sauce. Do I add more olive oil? What else can I use to replace it?

You can omit it if you don't care for the taste.

I was a little skeptical about this recipe but I just finished it and it was AMAZING! I usually grill my steaks and never eat ribeye so I was pleasantly surprised that every thing came out so good. This was my first recipe I made from the site so I am super happy to keep going!

This is the first diet doctor recipe that I won’t make again. salad was good, but the dressing was not good. Bitter. The steak marinade was ok, but not good enough to make again. Actually I feel as though I wasted a perfectly good ribeye.

I made mayo for the first time and it was so easy! I have to admit that I thought it tasted way too much like just oil so I increased the mustard, salt and lime juice a bit. It was much better and great on the salad. I think this recipe makes a bit too much of it though so I may cut it by 1/3 next time around. I used a T-Bone instead of the ribeye as it was on sale this week. The only other thing I did differently was to cut the quantity of red onion in half.

Made this today and it was fantastic! But confused as to how 150g of beef with salad and a splodge (not all of it) of mayo on the side comes in at more than 1000 calories? Especially as the meat and scallions are dry fried?

The dressing is quite fatty, which brings the extra calories.

Yogurt has a much stronger taste, and more carbohydrates. If you sub, you may want to taste test as you go.

I wasn’t sure about this recipe or the homemade mayo but everything turned out amazing! The meat was tender and flavorful. My mayo wasn’t as thick as it was supposed to be but it turned out perfect as it ended up the consistency of a typical salad dressing anyway.

I used coconut oil instead of olive oil to cook beef and it's lovely. I'm not big on a lot of mayo so only used 1 tablespoon and it was perfect, I also poured the goodness from the cooked marinade over the salad.
It was so delicious.Reply: #39

Fish sauce has a very distinct taste. Soy sauce may work well, but it will be different.
