This hearty Japanese noodle salad is satisfying enough to be a stand-alone main or a tasty side.

4 x 150g fillet steaks
Olive oil, to brush
200g green tea soba or regular soba noodles
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/4 cup (3 tablespoons) miso paste
1/3 cup (80ml) mirin (Japanese rice wine)
4 spring onions, trimmed, thinly sliced on the diagonal
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, lightly toasted

Method

1.

Brush steaks with oil and season. Heat a large frypan or chargrill pan over high heat. Cook steaks for 3 minutes each side for rare (or until cooked to your liking). Remove, cover loosely with foil and rest for 5 minutes.
2.

Meanwhile, cook noodles according to packet instructions. Rinse under cold running water, drain well, then toss with sesame oil in a large bowl and set aside.
3.

Whisk miso and mirin in a small pan on medium heat until smooth and heated. Thinly slice steaks on an angle, then toss with noodles, miso dressing and spring onion. Serve topped with sesame seeds.
