Ponzu Soba Noodle Salad with Flank Steak

Ingredients

 ½ cup Ponzu Sauce
2 teaspoons Sambal Oleek (or to taste)
2 cloves roasted Garlic
2 spoonfuls of the Olive Oil the roasted garlic was stored in

8 oz. (uncooked) Soba Noodles
1 bag Coleslaw mix
2 cups shelled Edamame, boiled per package directions, and drained

1 lb. Flank Steak
Montreal Steak Seasoning or Salt and Pepper

Directions

Whisk together the dressing ingredients (Ponzu Sauce thru Olive Oil) in a salad bowl.

Bring a pot of water to a boil, add Soba Noodles, cook for 3-4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Add to Salad Bowl along with Edamame and Coleslaw. Toss well. Set aside while making the steak.

Place flank steak on a broiler pan. Season both sides with Montreal Steak Seasoning or Salt and Pepper.

Place under broiler. Broil for 5-6 minutes per side.
Remove from oven, tent with foil and let rest for 10 minutes.
Thinly slice steak, against the grain.

Serve steak with soba noodle salad.

The Verdict

For the dressing, I used roasted garlic and garlic olive oil because that’s what I had on hand. You could just mince a clove of a garlic and use that instead.

I overseasoned the flank steak – but mixed in with the salad it was still tasty. Also, the recipe called for 5 minutes of resting time for the steak, next time I would do 10, 5 just wasn’t quite enough.

Overall, a good meal. Emma really liked it.
Sarah ate plain soba noodles with soy sauce and shelled edamame.
