    METHOD

  • Make the dressing: put the ginger, garlic, lime and lemon zest and juice, honey, white vinegar, seasoning, and oil in a bowl, gently whisk together.
  • Sprinkle a little black pepper over the steak, heat the oil in a frying pan and, over a high heat, fry the steak, turning once and cook to your liking. (Approximately 2 minutes each side for medium rare, and 4 minutes each side for medium).
    Allow the steak to rest on a plate, spoon some of the dressing onto the steak and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Place the pak choi in the frying pan and, over a high heat, char slightly for a minute; remove the pak choi from the pan. Add the noodles and chilli to the pan with the remaining dressing and half the spring onions and stir until piping hot.
  • Slice the steak.
  • Assemble the salad: stir the pak choi into the noodles then gently stir in the salad leaves and place in a serving bowl.
  • Top with the slices of steak and sprinkle over with the chopped nuts and remaining spring onions
