Asian Beef Noodles
Serves 2
Ingredients
Lemongrass - 1 (finely chopped)
Ginger - 1 inch (finely chopped)
Garlic - 4 cloves (finely chopped)
Red chilli - 1 or 2 depending how brave you are (finely chopped)
Coriander - 1 bunch (finely chopped)
Chinese 5 spice – 1 teaspoon
Lime - 1
Ribeye steaks - 2
Medium egg noodles - 3 nests
Soy sauce - 3 tablespoons
Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
Spring onions – finely sliced for decoration
Method
1. Season the steaks with salt, pepper and 5 spice, leave to get to room temperature. Get a pan of water boiling.
2. Saute the garlic, chilli, ginger and lemongrass until golden, then add the soy sauce and sesame oil.
3. Boil the noodles for 5-8 minutes until soft.
4. Panfry the steak for around 3 minutes each side, depending how thick the steak is, but make sure its rare. Or medium rare at the absolute most. Any more than this, you waste the steak, and you shouldn’t be on my website!
5. Leave the steak to rest while you add the noodles to the sauce, and mix together with the juice of half a lime, and the coriander.
6. Serve the noodles on to a plate or bowl. Thinly slice the steak and place on top of the noodles, or mix in whatever your preference. Finish off by sprinkling the spring onions over the top, and maybe a little extra chilli if you like it hot! Also can be served up with some additional bok choy or broccolini too.
