Method:

Step 1: Combine steak marinade ingredients in a bowl. In a glass container place the skirt steak and cover completely in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate overnight

Step 2: Combine noodle bowl sauce ingredients in a jar and shake. Allow to sit for 30 minutes minimum to allow the flavours to combine – then refrigerate

Step 3: Bring a pot of water to a boil and submerge the rice noodles. Remove from heat and cover the pot to allow noodles to cook for 5-6 minutes. Once cooked run under cold water and set aside

Step 4: On a hot barbecue, grill skirt steak to desired doneness. 2-3 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove from barbecue and allow it to sit for 5 minutes

Step 5: Toss noodles in the sauce and place in a bowl. Top with cucumber, carrot, cabbage and steak.
