Steak Vietnamese Noodle Salad Recipes

VIETNAMESE-STYLE RICE-NOODLE AND STEAK SALAD

Steps:

• Place the rice sticks in large bowl. Cover completely with boiling water and let stand until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain well.
• In a mortar and pestle (or small-capacity blender), mash the garlic, jalapeño and sugar to a paste. Transfer to a small bowl; whisk in the fish sauce, 1/4 cup water and lime juice. Toss some of the dressing, a few tablespoons at a time, with the noodles, tasting as you go, until the flavor is to your liking; use up to half the dressing. Add 6 tablespoons nuts, 1 tablespoon mint and 1 tablespoon basil. Toss well.
• Whisk the peanut oil into the remaining dressing. In a large bowl, toss together the radicchio, remaining 1 cup mint, remaining 1 cup basil and cucumber. Pour enough dressing over the salad to lightly coat the greens; reserve some dressing for the meat.
• Arrange the salad on a large platter. Top with the noodles. Arrange the steak over the noodles and spoon additional dressing over the meat if desired. Garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons peanuts and cilantro, if using.

VIETNAMESE STEAK AND NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, lime juice, brown sugar, chili paste, lemongrass, garlic, ginger, and 2 tablespoons of the green onions. Pour half of the mixture into a large resealable bag and add the steak. Reserve the other half.
• Marinate the steak either at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate overnight. If you marinate overnight, allow the steak to come to room temperature before cooking.
• Cook the rice noodles according to package directions and set aside. If there are no directions on the package, submerge the noodles in cold water until softened, about an hour, and then place in boiling water until tender, 1-2 minutes. The noodles should be slightly soft but with some bounce. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
• Pat the steak dry and then brush it on both sides with the vegetable oil. Heat a heavy-bottomed pan like a cast iron over high heat. Sear the steak until it reaches medium-rare and a golden-brown crust forms, about 2 minutes on the first side and 1 minute on the other (depending on the thickness of the meat).
• Remove the steak from the pan, transfer it to a plate, cover with foil, and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
• Wipe out the cast iron pan and then add in 1 cup of the vegetable oil. Prepare a paper towel-lined plate nearby.
• Heat the oil over medium-high heat and then add the shallot rings. Cook, stirring frequently until the shallots begin to bubble and turn golden-brown about 2-3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the shallots from the oil, place them on the paper towels, and sprinkle with salt.
• Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Evenly divide the rice noodles, lettuce, and steak among bowls and top with the remaining green onions, cucumber, radishes, and red onion.
• Garnish with the remaining marinade/dressing, fried shallots, mint, cilantro, and peanuts. Serve with lime wedges, jalapenos, and chili paste.

BUN BO XA OT (VIETNAMESE STEAK AND RICE NOODLE SALAD) AS MADE BY DIEP RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the lemongrass chili oil: Chop the bottom 4 inches (10 cm) from the lemongrass stalks and discard the tops. Peel off any tough outer layers and discard, then thinly slice the remaining lemongrass. Process the sliced lemongrass in a food processor until very finely minced. You should have about 1 cup (130 g) total.
• In a large enameled Dutch oven, heat the canola oil over high heat until it reaches 300°F (150°C). Add the garlic and lemongrass to the hot oil and cook until the garlic is golden brown and aromatic, about 10 minutes. Add the shallots. Reduce the heat to very low and add the red pepper flakes. Cook until extremely aromatic, about 2 minutes. Add the fish sauce, sugar, and water. Continue cooking for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent the garlic from scorching at the bottom, until the oil has turned red. Remove the pot from the heat and let the chili oil cool, then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use, up to 3 weeks.
• Make the pickles: Place the daikon and carrots in a deep bowl.
• In a small pot, combine the sugar, vinegar, water, garlic and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.
• Pour the brine over the vegetables and let sit for at least 1 hour. The pickles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
• Make the nuoc cham: In a small pot, bring the water and sugar to a simmer over medium heat. Add the garlic and stir until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the vinegar and fish sauce. Remove the pot from the heat and let the nuoc cham cool, then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use, up to 3 weeks.
• Make the steak: Rub the steak with the rice bran oil and sprinkle salt on both sides.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Sear the steak in the hot skillet until the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare, 6-10 minutes, turning the steak as needed to ensure even cooking. The timing of the steak will depend largely on the thickness of the meat. Remove the steak from the skillet and let rest for 10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
• To serve, add the rice noodles to a wide, shallow dish. Arrange the lettuce, basil, mint, pickles, fried shallots, and peanuts on top. Arrange the beef on top and spoon over some nuoc cham and lemongrass chili oil.".
