GINGER GARLIC STEAK AND NOODLE SALAD
One of our favorite restaurants makes a beef and noodle dish, and I had to make it my own. I created this salad using some of my favorite ingredients: I love what the heat of the Fresno adds against the sweetness of the mango. I even got my kale in there, too!

Steps:
- For the steak: In a wide, shallow container with a lid, add the avocado or vegetable oil, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic and sesame oil. Whisk to combine. Add the steak and coat in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours. Remove the steak from the refrigerator to come to room temperature before cooking, about 1 hour.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, pat dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare with an internal temperature of 125 degrees F. Remove from the heat and set aside to rest, about 10 minutes. Squeeze the juice of the lime on the rested steak and slice against the grain.
- For the salad: Cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions.
- In a small bowl, combine the avocado or vegetable oil, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, mustard, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, salt and lime juice. Whisk thoroughly to combine and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the cabbage and kale. Add the carrots, cilantro, mint, scallions, chiles and noodles and toss to combine. Add the dressing and toss to coat. Add the mango and gently toss. Sprinkle the salad with the peanuts. Arrange the steak over the salad.
- Divide the salad and steak among plates. Serve with lime wedges.
PACIFIC RIM FLANK STEAK
Steps:
- In a medium glass dish, stir together the marinade ingredients. Add the beef, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 8 to 24 hours, turning occasionally.
- Preheat the broiler. Lightly spray a broiler pan and rack with cooking spray.
- Remove the beef from the dish, discarding the marinade. Transfer the beef to the broiler rack.
- Broil 4 to 6 inches from the heat for 3 to 7 minutes on each side, or to the desired doneness (3 to 5 minutes on each side for medium rare, 4 to 7 minutes on each side for medium). Transfer the beef to a cutting board. Cut diagonally across the grain into very thin slices.
- Cook's Tip
- If you plan to make the steak salad, you will see that it calls for pineapple chunks canned in their own juice. That juice is too mild for the steak marinade, which is why we don't use it in this recipe. Regular canned pineapple juice will provide considerably more flavor.
- Cook's Tip on Chili Garlic Sauce or Paste
- Chili garlic sauce is a deliciously spicy blend of coarsely ground chiles and garlic. It is interchangeable with chili garlic paste, which includes the same ingredients plus vinegar. Look for these products in the international section of most major supermarkets. Try adding them to a variety of foods, such as chicken, fish, beef, and pasta.

Tips:
- Choose your steak wisely: Look for a steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling. This will help ensure that the steak is juicy and flavorful.
- Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple one made with olive oil, garlic, and herbs is always a good choice.
- Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
- Let the steak rest before slicing: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Use fresh noodles: Fresh noodles have a better texture and flavor than dried noodles.
- Cook the noodles according to the package directions: Be sure not to overcook the noodles, as this will make them mushy.
- Add your favorite vegetables to the salad: This is a great way to add extra flavor and nutrients to the salad.
- Use a light dressing: A light dressing will help to keep the salad from becoming too heavy.
- Serve the salad immediately: This is the best way to enjoy the salad while the noodles are still fresh.
Conclusion:
Pacific Rim Grilled Steak and Noodle Salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The grilled steak is juicy and flavorful, and the noodle salad is light and refreshing. This dish is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
