I bought some beef the other day, top round. It came in three long strips, and I figured it would be perfect for putting on top of a salad. And then I realized that it would be even perfecter on a thai-flavored salad! The bed was rice noodles, and there were random delicious things on top. Cilantro, fried mushrooms, cucumbers, mint, basil. The dressing was a mix of lime juice, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, mirin, and spiciness. You can play with those flavors - sweet/salty/sour/hot - and anything will be delicious.
The beef was marinating in a similar sauce, but with miso paste in it. Miso, mirin, fish sauce, lime, rice wine vinegar, fresh ginger.
First I cooked the mushrooms - oyster mushrooms. Cooked in butter, with kosher salt. The best way to do mushrooms. 
mmmm cilantro!
Cooked the beef for about two minutes to a side, until it was just rare-medium rare inside. 
Sliced it up, threw it on top of the rice noodles, poured the dressing over everything, and voila! salad. yum.
