VIETNAMESE-STYLE GRILLED STEAK WITH NOODLES

Categories     Beef     Herb     Pasta     Pepper     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Summer     Gourmet     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 ounces capellini, or other thin spaghetti
3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon anchovy paste
1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves, shredded, or 1 teaspoon dried, crumbled, plus 2 mint sprigs for garnish
two 3/4-inch-thick boneless shell steaks (about 1 pound)
3/4 cup fresh bean sprouts, rinsed and drained
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into julienne strips

Steps:

  • In a kettle of boiling salted water boil the capellini until it is just tender and drain it in a colander. Rinse the capellini under cold water and drain it well. While the noodles are boiling, in a blender blend the vinegar, 1 tablespoon water, the soy sauce, the garlic, the sugar, the red pepper flakes, the salt, and the anchovy paste until the sauce is smooth. In a bowl toss the noodles with the sauce and the shredded mint.
  • Heat a well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat until it is hot and in it grill the steaks, patted dry and seasoned with salt and pepper, for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they are springy to the touch, for medium-rare meat. (Alternatively the steaks may be grilled on an oiled rack set 4 to 5 inches over glowing coals for the same amount of time.) Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them stand for 5 minutes. Cut the steaks into thin slices.
  • Divide the noodles between 2 plates, mounding them, arrange the slices of steak on them, and surround the noodles with the bean sprouts and the bell pepper. Garnish each serving with a mint sprig.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a ripe spaghetti squash. A ripe squash will have a deep yellow color and a hard shell.
  • To easily cut the spaghetti squash in half, use a sharp knife and cut it lengthwise. Then, scoop out the seeds and pulp with a spoon.
  • Roast the spaghetti squash at a high temperature (400°F) for about 45 minutes, or until it is tender. This will help to caramelize the squash and give it a slightly sweet flavor.
  • To make the marinade for the skirt steak, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and lemongrass. Then, add the skirt steak to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize the steak and give it a flavorful crust.
  • When you're ready to cook the steak, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Then, add the steak and cook it for about 5 minutes per side, or until it is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • To assemble the noodle bowls, start by placing a bed of spaghetti squash noodles in a bowl. Then, add the skirt steak, vegetables, herbs, and peanuts. Finally, drizzle the dressing over the bowl and enjoy!
