Lemongrass Beef Noodle Salad.



This is a favourite of my dear cousin Tobias and I've been promising him the recipe for years now. He is a super genius and a lover of food too. Well.. being fed at least. 


Im excited to let him loose on the blog at some stage and work his magic creating a sleeker aesthetic. 
Technology, coding and what not are completely unfathomable to me, 
so hurrah for diverse interests and talents.   
    
This Vietnamese inspired salad is simple to prepare but explosive in flavour. Not to mention super healthy. 
Tick, tick, tick! 

Recipe: 

Beef.
2 scotch fillets

Marinade. 
3 pink shallots 
2 cloves of garlic 
1/2 cup of coriander (roots too) 
3 lemongrass stems
1 tbsp fish sauce 
1 tsp cane sugar 
juice of two limes
1 red chilli
s&p

Salad. 
1/4 cup of roasted peanuts
1 cup of shredded mix greens 
handful of mint 
1/2 cup of cooked rice noodles

Chop and combine all of the marinade ingredients and rub into steak. 
Leave to develop for at least 3 hours or over night.

Heat oil in a wok until smoking hot. 
Scrape marinade of the steak and quickly brown on either side. 
Remove steak from the woke and set aside to rest, meanwhile scrape the marinade ingredients back into the hot wok until everything is piping hot. 

Slice steak and mix everything together.
Depending how you like it you might like to add a little more lime or fish sauce to taste. 
mmm
