Ingredients

• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 tsp grated ginger
• 2 thick sirloin steaks (about 375g), trimmed of all visible fat, then cut into strips
• 0.5 tbsp brown miso paste
• 320 g long-stemmed broccoli, stems thickly sliced, florets left whole
• 3 nests wholemeal noodles (132g dry weight)
• 5.5 tbsp brown miso paste
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 3 tbsp cider vinegar
• 3 tbsp ginger
• 5.5 tbsp olive oil
• 1 red onion, finely chopped
• 2 carrots (150g), cut into matchsticks
• 4 tomatoes, cut into wedges
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Steps

1. For the salad, simmer the broccoli in a large pan of boiling water for 3-4 mins. Meanwhile, cook the noodles following pack instructions, then drain both and set aside.
2. For the dressing, whisk the miso paste in a large bowl with the lemon juice, vinegar, ginger and oil. Toss with the cooked broccoli, noodles, red onion, carrots, tomatoes and sesame seeds.
3. For the steak, heat a wok or frying pan over a medium heat and briefly stir-fry the garlic and ginger until they begin to colour. Add the steak and stir-fry for a few minutes until brown. Pile half on top of the noodle salad. Add the miso to the wok with 2 tbsp water to lift the ginger and garlic from the pan, then spoon over the meat. Serve half and chill the rest for another day. Will keep chilled for two days.
