Japanese Miso Beef with Vermicelli Noodle Salad

Steps

1. Preheat BBQ grill or hot plate to medium (if using). Bring a full kettle of water to the boil.
2. Prep & cook salad. Place noodles and broccoli in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave for 6-8 minutes, until noodles are cooked and broccoli is tender. Drain, rinse under cold water and leave to drain. Set 3/4 of the noodles aside (this is leftover).
3. Add all salad ingredients to a bowl, along with cooked noodles, broccoli and ¼ tsp of salt.
4. Prep beef. Pat beef dry, trim away all visible fat (and discard). In a bowl mix miso paste with 1 tsp of water, add beef and sesame seeds to bowl and toss until coated. Season.
5. Heat ¼ tsp oil in a non-stick fry-pan on medium heat.
6. Cook beef. Cook beef for about 4 minutes each side (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Alternatively, cook on BBQ. Rest, covered. Thinly slice beef reserving any resting juices.
7. Serve beef on top of salad. Drizzle with resting juices and tear nori over top.
