Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 3 tablespoons Tamari (or soy sauce)
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 8 ounces Soba noodles
- 1 large Carrot
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 whole Red bell pepper
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 cup Cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 whole Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the tamari, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create a marinade.
Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the steak, reserving the other half for the salad dressing. Let the steak marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes (or refrigerate for up to 2 hours).
While the steak marinates, bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse the noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Prepare the vegetables: peel and julienne the carrot, thinly slice the cucumber and red bell pepper, and chop the green onions. Set the veggies aside.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides of the steak with salt and black pepper.
Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (or adjust cooking time for desired doneness). Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the soba noodles with the reserved marinade, ensuring the noodles are well coated.
Add the prepared vegetables, cilantro leaves, and sesame seeds to the noodles. Toss gently to combine.
Divide the soba noodle salad among serving plates. Top each plate with slices of flank steak.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the salad just before serving. Enjoy your clean eating soba noodle salad with flank steak!
