Remove, let roast cool down, then chill well.
When chilled, cut the roast beef into thin slices and place them in a deep bowl.
Scrub cucumbers, cut off the ends, and score the peel with a fork.
Cut cucumber into thin slices and add to the roast beef.
Peel the onion.
Cut into thin slices and combine with the meat and cucumbers.
Place vinegar, garlic, salt, sugar, hot chilies, and green pepper in a blender or food processor.
Blend until well combined.
Pour vinaigrette over the beef mixture and toss well.
Line a salad bowl or individual plates with soft lettuce.
Distribute the salad.
Sprinkle with lemon juice and with Nampla, if desired.
Garnish with julienned red bell pepper and chopped fresh mint.
