Cooking Steps
1
To begin, allow steaks to come to room temperature. Next, combine all the Pad See Ew sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
2
After about 30 minutes of resting, coat the steak in salt and pepper, heat oil in the pan at a high temperature and cook the steaks on high until medium rare for 3 to 4 minutes each side.
3
Once steaks are cooked, set aside to rest, squeeze lime juice over each steak and move on to stir frying the vegetables.
NB: You may need to cook steaks one at a time for the best outcome, so steaks sizzle and don't stew.
4
Using the steak pan or a wok, add the extra sesame oil and bring the heat to high. Add the onion, carrot and broccolini stems and stirfry for about 3 minutes. Add the top half of the broccolini and the garlic and continue to stifry for about 2 minutes.
5
Next, prepare the noodles by loosening them in the microwave for 30 seconds. Add noodles to the vegetables and toss to combine. Add the Pad See Ew sauce and toss to coat the noodles.
6
Slice the rested steak on chopping board. Add the steak slices and juices into the Pad See Ew and gently toss through.
Serve immediately ... enjoy!
