Steps:

• Cook noodles according to the package directions.
• Slice steak across the grain into strips (about 1/4-inch thick by 2 inches long).
• Heat oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat and cook meat for 5 minutes or until no longer pink in the middle; drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss together cooked noodles, cabbage, carrots, bean spouts and cilantro. Add flank steak strips.
• PREPARE DRESSING:.

SOBA NOODLE SALAD WITH GRILLED SIRLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Whisk the rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey and sesame oil in a large bowl. Whisk in the vegetable oil. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the dressing into a small bowl.
• Add the soba noodles to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Drain and rinse under cold water; set aside. Season the steak with salt and pepper and brush all over with the reserved 2 tablespoons dressing. Season the red onions and squash with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Grill the steak until medium rare, 3 to 5 minutes per side; let rest 10 minutes. Grill the red onions and squash, turning as needed, until charred and tender, about 6 minutes. Thinly slice the steak against the grain and season lightly with salt. Chop the onions and slice the squash.
• Add the noodles, onions, squash, radishes and herbs to the bowl with the dressing; drizzle with any accumulated juices from the steak and toss. Divide among bowls. Top with the steak.

COLD SOBA NOODLES WITH PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add soba noodles, and cook according to package directions, about 4 minutes. Drain noodles, rinse under cold water, and set aside to cool.
• Whisk peanut butter, water, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, hoisin sauce, Sriracha, soy sauce, lime zest and juice, garlic, and ginger together in a small bowl for the dressing. Pour dressing over noodles. Add red bell pepper and toss to combine. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 1 hour.
• Stir teriyaki sauce, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl until well combined. Cut pork tenderloin into very thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick, then cut each slice in half. Add pork to marinade, cover bowl, and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or longer.
• Remove pork from refrigerator. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil until hot. Add pork, separating pieces to cover the skillet's bottom. Cook the pork, occasionally stirring, until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Your time will depend on how thinly the pork is cut, but try not to overcook to retain tenderness.
• Remove noodles from the refrigerator and give them a good stir. Divide the noodles among 4 plates or bowls. Evenly distribute the pork on top of the noodles and garnish with peanuts, green onion and sesame seeds before serving.

SOBA NOODLE AND STEAK SALAD WITH GINGER-LIME DRESSING

Steps:

• Cook soba noodles according to package instructions. Rinse under cold water, drain well and set aside. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, ginger, sesame oil and brown sugar; set aside.
• Season the steak well with salt and pepper. Heat a large cast-iron pan over medium-high until very hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the canola oil and when it shimmers, add the steak and cook, undisturbed, until it begins to get crisp and golden on the outside, 3 to 4 minutes. (If you are using skirt steak, you may need to cut it into 2 or 3 pieces to fit in the pan, then cook for 2 to 3 minutes.) Flip and finish cooking, about 3 minutes more for medium-rare. Set aside and allow the steak to rest while you prepare the rest of the salad.
• Turn heat to medium and add the bok choy. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until it begins to brown and char in spots, 2 to 3 minutes, adding another teaspoon or so of oil if needed to help if the pan is too dry. Remove from the heat.
• In a large bowl, toss the soba noodles, carrots, radishes (if using) and half the scallions. Drizzle with the ginger-lime dressing to taste and divide among plates or in serving bowls. Thinly slice the steaks against the grain and top each portion with some of the steak and the bok choy. Scatter the remaining scallions and the mint over top and season with flaky salt, if desired. Serve with any leftover dressing in a small bowl to be passed at the table.
