Method

Crunchy noodle salad
1

Heat a frying pan or barbeque to a medium heat.

2

Rub the steak with 1 tablespoon of oil, garlic, cumin and season. Depending on their thickness, cook for 3-4 minutes each side. Remove and set aside.

3

In the same pan heat the remaining oil. Add the broccoli cooking for 4 or 5 minutes to char. Add the corn frying for a couple of minutes to get some colour. Remove and place into a large bowl.

4

To the broccoli and corn add the chickpeas, kale, red onion, herbs and noodles.

5

To make the dressing combine the sugar and boiling water stirring together. Add the fish sauce and lime juice. Pour over the vegetables and noodles.

6

To serve place the salad onto plates. Slice the beef thinly and lay on top with a sprinkle of crispy noodles. Drizzle over any juices remaining from the salad.

Tips
1

Remove the meat from the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking, allowing it to come to room temperature, which reduces shrinking during cooking.

2

Change up the vegetables for the seasons. Mix in capsicum, Asian greens or cabbage depending on what is in season.

3

Double the dressing and keep it for another occasion. It will last in the fridge for 2 weeks.
