Servings:

Directions

  • Trim fat from sirloin and cut into 1” cubes.
  • Combine beef and marinade ingredients in a resealable bag and let marinate for about 30 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and reserve.
  • Combine dressing ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet (I used my cast iron) over high heat.
  • When it begins to shimmer (and slightly smoke) add beef. Do not overcrowd the pan. You may have to cook in two batches. Let the meat sear, untouched, for a couple of minutes. Flip and cook for a minute of two more. Repeat with remaining meat.
  • Plate noodle, greens, cilantro, and vegetables.
  • Top with beef.
  • Drizzle with dressing.

NOTES

VEGETARIAN TIP: Replace the meat with cubed firm tofu.

GLUTEN FREE MODIFICATIONS: Use rice noodles. Substitute tamari for soy sauce and the oyster sauce.
