This is an old favourite, revamped into a light, fresh summer dish. Cook the steaks on the braai (medium rare) for some smokey flavour and a chance to sit outside while cooking. Pour that cold glass of white wine and enjoy. Maybe with a salty snack while you wait for the coals to burn down.
Ingredients
400g marinated Balsamic Ginger Fillet
2 ripe avos, sliced
1 handful cashews, toasted
4 radishes, finely sliced
Handful fresh coriander, de-stalked and roughly chopped
2 red chillis, finely sliced
Rice noodles
Salt and pepper, to taste
*serves 3
Pound the steaks so that they are reasonably flat, and grill in a hot pan or on the braai until rare/medium rare. Let them rest for 5-10min. While they are resting, pour boiling water over the rice noodles and let them sit. Slice the avo and radishes and chop the coriander. Drain the noodles and scatter them on a plate. Reduce the steak marinade in a hot pan and drizzle over the noodles. The sauce is the key to this salad, so use it all. Season generously with salt and pepper – rice noodles aren’t known for their built in flavour. Layer the salad with avo, radish and steak slices, then sprinkle the coriander, cashews and chilli on top. Serve at room temperature in bowls.
