Best Pacific Rim Grilled Steak And Noodle Salad Recipes

THAI NOODLE-STEAK SALAD

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium high. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside in a colander to drain thoroughly.
• Whisk the lime juice, 3 tablespoons water, the sugar, sambal oelek and fish sauce in a large bowl. Add the cucumber, onion, watermelon and noodles. Season with salt and pepper and toss; set aside.
• Season the steak with salt and pepper. Brush the grill with vegetable oil. Grill the steak until marked, about 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes, then thinly slice.
• Add all but a few tablespoons cilantro to the noodle salad and toss. Top with the steak and the remaining cilantro.

GINGER GARLIC STEAK AND NOODLE SALAD

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.
