Soba Noodle Soup With Roast Beef

A seriously tasty basin of noodle goodness! These Beefiness Soba Noodles are dressed with a fantastic dressing reminiscent of traditional Japanese soba sauce. Quick to make, you'll accept this on the table in just 15 minutes. Fantastic for hot summer nights or a wednesday dinner selection, and a great way to make a little flake of steak stretch further!

Hither's the affair well-nigh Asian families (I'm betting we aren't the only Asian family with this attitude!). When it comes to imitation Asian food (modern / contemporary / fusion Asian), we are snobs. We honey information technology when it'due south done right. Merely there's a line – and if information technology's on the wrong side of that line, nosotros turn our noses up at information technology.

So when I announced that I was going to brand a "simulated Asian beef soba" repast for a family dinner, the response was……well, underwhelming.Dubious is a off-white word to describe their response.

In my family, we are each others greatest supporters and greatest critics in everything we do. We are always appreciative of endeavor, merely we own't beating effectually the bush when it comes to food.

Also salty, not seasoned enough, the pasta's not al dente, the Ragu isn't rich enough, the roast potatoes could be crunchier, I'm the Roast Beef Queen, y'all're the Pasta Rex, you're the Queen of Salads….and so on.

Tough oversupply!!! But information technology's e'er said in expert jest and nosotros are always very complimentary equally well. Nosotros like to say information technology'southwardeffective feedback. And we all give information technology every bit adept equally we get!

Equally for their response to this Beef Soba Noodle Bowl? They were shocked. Shocked athow good information technology is!!!

So as yous tin can imagine, I was gloating away, smiling smugly every bit anybody scoffed it down. (Yeah, nosotros relish our victories, yes we are all that immature). SCORED!

PS Just to assure yous, none of us are like this in real life exterior of family dinners!!!

This has long since been my favourite way to serve up beef and soba. Actually, it's theonly beef and soba recipe I make.

In typical Asian form, one of the things I really like about this recipe is that you lot only need a small amount of beef. Very different arroyo to the Western style of cooking huge slabs of steak the size of my caput (which, to be clear, I enjoy just as much as this Beef Soba Noodle Bowl!).

For this recipe I've used a very familiar cut – rump steak. It'southward probably the steak cut I use the most because it'due south nifty value for the quality you lot get. A quick sear, few minutes of resting then y'all accept a cute tender,juicy steak to dig in to. YUM!

The dressing for this Beef Soba Noodle Bowl is really lovely, it reminds me of the sauce for traditional Japanese Soba just information technology has a stronger flavour and so it's more than similar to a salad dressing rather than a Japanese soba dipping sauce. If you are subsequently a traditional Japanese Soba recipe, my female parent has shared her Zaru Soba recipe (traditional Common cold Soba Noodles) – the ultimate hot weather noodle dish!

With just a wee bit of multi tasking, this is a super quick dinner y'all tin can become on the table in 15 minutes. Just get the water humid while you cook the steak, and then while the steak is resting, brand the dressing and cook the soba and beans.

Encounter? Totally manageable. And just to really prove you how unproblematic this is, there's a quick recipe video beneath. 🙂 Nagi xx

A fusion Japanese soba noodle dish with an amazing dressing that matches perfectly with the juicy steak slices and for slurping upwards the soba noodles. Fantastic quick repast for hot summertime nights!

Dressing

• ▢ 1 i/2 tbsp soy sauce, low-cal or ordinary (Notation 1)
• ▢ 2 1/2 tbsp peanut oil
• ▢ 3 tbsp rice vinegar (Notation 2)
• ▢ 1 tbsp mirin (Notation iii)
• ▢ 2 tsp brown sugar
• ▢ 2 tsp ginger, minced
• ▢ 1 clove garlic, minced

Steak

• ▢ 200g/vii oz rump or sirloin beefiness steak, excess fat trimmed (Note four)
• ▢ ane tsp vegetable oil
• ▢ 6oz/180g soba (Notation v)
• ▢ 6oz/200g light-green beans, trimmed
• ▢ 1 scallion/shallot, finely sliced
• ▢ 1 tbsp crispy Asian Shallots (Note half dozen)

• Take the steak out of the fridge xxx minutes prior to cooking (or 15 minutes if it'southward a stinking hot summertime day).

• Combine dressing ingredients in a jar and milk shake.

• Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat until smoking, so cook the steak to your liking. I like mine medium rare - perfect for absorbing the flavours of the delicious dressing - and then I cook this rump steak for 2 minutes on the first side and one infinitesimal 45 seconds on the 2d side.

• Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil. Residue for v minutes, so slice into fairly thin slices against the grain (i.due east. find the direction of the fibres and then cut at a 90 degree angle straight through them).

• Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to boil. Melt the soba according to packet instructions (usually 5 minutes). For the last one minute of cooking, add the greenish beans.

• Bleed the noodles and beans and rinse under cold h2o to stop them from cooking farther and to cool the noodles. Roughly divide beans from noodles.

• To serve, dissever the noodles between 2 bowls, top with the beans then the steak slices. Drizzle with the dressing (over the steak and noodles), then garnish with shallot slices and Crispy Asian Shallots.

1. I use Kikkoman soy sauce, which is an all purpose soy sauce. You lot tin also use low-cal soy sauce. Dark soy sauce is not suitable - flavour is way also strong.

two. Rice vinegar tin can exist substituted with white wine vinegar (aforementioned amount) or normal white vinegar but reduce to 1½ tbsp.

three. Mirin is a sweetened Japanese rice wine which is at present readily available throughout Commonwealth of australia even at supermarkets. If yous cannot consume alcohol, this tin be substituted with 1 tsp honey and 2 tsp white wine vinegar.

four. This can be made with whatever quick grilling cut of beefiness. I like making this with rump and sirloin.

5. In Australia, soba noodles come up in 9oz/270g packets and come bundled in 3oz/90g bundles (1 serving).

six. Crispy Asian Shallots (deep fried salted slices of shallots) really are the perfect stop for this dish, they provide texture and flavour. They can be purchased from Asian grocery stores or the Asian section of almost major supermarkets in Australia. They are addictive and I put them on many things - like into salads

7. The majority of the calories in this recipe are from the soba noodles. 3oz/90g dried soba is quite a generous serving.

8. Inspired by a recipe by Anna Gare, an Australian Idiot box cook. I tin't call back the source, possibly I wrote the recipe down while watching one of her shows!

9. Beefiness Soba Noodle Basin nutrition per serving.
