Instructions
Dressing:
-
In a blender or the bowl of a food processor, pulse the ginger and garlic until finely chopped.
-
Add the lime juice, water, miso, soy sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, and sesame oil. Blend or process until smooth.
Steak:
-
Pat the steak dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. In a cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil.
-
Add the steak and cook for 3 minutes or until browned. Turn over and cook on the other side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the steak registers 135 degrees F for medium-rare.
-
Set aside and let rest for at least 5 minutes while preparing the noodles. (The temperature will rise a few degrees as the steak rests.) Cut across the grain into thin slices.
Noodles and Vegetables:
-
Remove and discard the stem end and string from each of the snap pea pods. (Skip this step if the strings are not a problem.)
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the pot from the heat and add the noodles and snap peas. Cover the pot and let sit for 3 minutes.
-
With a slotted spoon, transfer the snap peas (they will float on top of the noodles) to a colander and rinse under cold running water. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl.
-
Cover the pot again and let the noodles soak for another 4 to 5 minutes. (See package directions for the precise amount of total time for the noodle brand used.)
-
Stir in the spinach leaves, which will immediately wilt a little. Drain the noodles and spinach in a colander, rinse under cold water and drain again. Transfer to the bowl with the snap peas.
To Assemble:
-
Add the cucumbers, mint, cilantro, and sliced steak to the bowl with the noodles. Toss to combine.
-
Taste and add more salt, if desired. Divide among 4 bowls and sprinkle each with more mint, cilantro, and sesame seeds.
