ASIAN STEAK AND NOODLE SALAD
Steps:
- Marinate and grill steak:
- Whisk together fish sauce, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and sugar in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Pour marinade into a large sealable plastic bag. Pat steak dry and place in bag, then press out excess air and seal bag. Turn bag over 2 or 3 times to coat meat, then place in a shallow dish (in case of leaks) and chill at least 4 hours and up to 8. Bring steak to room temperature 30 minutes before grilling.
- Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas).
- Remove steak from marinade (discard marinade) and pat dry with paper towels. Grill, uncovered unless using a gas grill, over direct heat, turning over once, until medium-rare, 12 to 14 minutes total.
- Transfer steak to a cutting board and let stand, uncovered, about 15 minutes.
- Assemble salad while steak rests:
- Whisk together lime juice, water, sugar, fish sauce, and red-pepper flakes in a bowl until sugar is dissolved, then stir in shallots.
- Cook noodles in a 5-quart pot of boiling salted water until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain in a colander, then rinse under cold water and drain well. Transfer to a bowl and toss with 1/2 cup dressing. 3Working around core of each apple, cut thin slices (about 1/8 inch thick) with slicer, then stack slices. Cut slices lengthwise into 1/4-inch-wide matchsticks.
- Combine apples, greens, and mint in a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup dressing and toss well to coat.
- Thinly slice steak across the grain.
- Arrange noodles on a large platter and mound greens on top of noodles. Arrange steak slices on greens and sprinkle with peanuts. Serve at room temperature with remaining dressing on the side.

Tips:
- Choose the right steak: Flank steak, skirt steak, or sirloin steak are all good choices for this salad. They are all relatively thin and cook quickly, making them perfect for a stir-fry.
- Slice the steak thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
- Marinate the steak: This will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ginger, or you can get creative and try a more complex marinade.
- Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the steak and keep it juicy on the inside.
- Don't overcook the steak: Steak is best cooked to medium-rare or medium, so that it is still slightly pink in the center.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it as soon as it is made.
Conclusion:
This Asian steak salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy steak, give this salad a try!
