Healthy Sriracha Lime Rice Noodle Salad Bowl With Beef Recipes

Steps:

• For the beef and dressing: Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat.
• Season both sides of the steak with salt. Grill until medium rare, about 4 minutes per side. Set aside.
• To make the dressing, combine the ponzu (or soy sauce), sesame oil, olive oil, vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, hot chili oil and garlic in a bowl. Mix to combine, then taste and adjust the flavors/seasonings.
• When the steak is cool enough, place in a large resealable plastic bag. Add 3 tablespoons of the dressing. Seal the bag tightly and place in the fridge until needed.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain and place in a bowl. Pour the remaining dressing over the top and toss to combine. Finally, toss in the green onions. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least a couple of hours or until cool. You can make the steak and noodles well in advance of when you want to serve them.
• For the peanut sauce: Heat the vegetable oil in a small pot over low heat. Add the curry powder, garlic, shallot and ginger and cook until the aromatics soften, about 5 minutes.
• Scrape into a blender and add the coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, peanut butter, hot chili oil, lime juice and a pinch of salt. Blend, adding hot water as needed a little at a time to thin it and make it smooth.
• To serve, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Drizzle a little ponzu (or soy sauce) over the noodles, just to give them a little flavor boost, throw in the chopped cilantro and toss to combine. Serve the strips of beef over a mound of noodles, or throw it all into a bowl together. Put some of the peanut sauce into small bowls and serve on the side--to be poured over when you eat.

Steps:

• In large bowl, beat Dressing ingredients with whisk. Add carrots, onion and cucumber; toss to thoroughly coat vegetables. Cover; set aside.
• In large bowl, place noodles. Pour enough boiling water over noodles to cover; stir to break apart noodles. Let stand 5 to 7 minutes, stirring noodles occasionally with tongs until tender. Divide noodles among 4 serving bowls.
• Set oven control to broil. Line broiler pan or cookie sheet with foil; spray with cooking spray. Rub steak with vegetable oil, then Chinese five-spice powder. Place on pan. Broil with top 6 inches from heat 5 to 6 minutes on each side, until cooked to desired doneness (140°F for medium). Transfer steak to cutting board, cover with foil; let rest 5 minutes.
• Using tongs or slotted spoon, divide vegetables among 4 bowls with noodles. Toss salad greens in remaining dressing, and transfer to bowls with noodles and vegetables.
• Thinly slice beef diagonally against the grain, then cut into bite-size pieces and place on top of salad. Serve immediately.
