Method

  1. Remove the steaks from the packaging and allow to rest at room temperature for 20 mins. Cook the rice noodles to pack instructions. Drain, rinse under cold water, then toss through the sesame oil. Transfer to a bowl or platter with the spring onions, cucumber, carrot, Chinese leaf, mint and most of the coriander.
  2. Heat a griddle or frying pan over a high heat. Brush the steaks with the vegetable oil, then griddle for 45 secs each side (for medium). Leave to rest for 5 mins before slicing.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients, then toss through the salad. Top with the steak, cashews and the remaining coriander to serve.
