Modifications
I was able to use a knife to cut the cabbage and kitchen shears for the mint but my hands were not feeling stable or strong enough to slice an onion thinly. I cut the smallish red onion in quarters and put it in the feed tube of my food processor using the slicing blade.
I made the dressing and poured it into a container with a lid that I could shake so that I could get the ingredients very incorporated and spare my hands from gripping a whisk, which would tire them.
I did need some help with this recipe. I had to have my husband squeeze the lime juice and grill the meat. There is the option of buying prepared lime juice or using an electric juicer. The meat can also be cooked under the broiler if the grill is not possible.
I somehow managed to cut a 2.3 lb piece of sirloin into thin slices without tiring and with some semblance of control. It was a good day!
