Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Boil a kettle. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium heat. Season the steaks with sea salt. Once the pan is hot, add the steaks and cook (as a guide: 3-4 mins on each side for medium-rare, or 5-6 mins for well-done). Quickly seal the edges of the steak, then remove from the pan and leave to rest. Thinly slice against the grain.
  2. Heat a large saucepan filled with salted boiling water on high heat. Add the noodles, gently separate with a fork and boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water.
  3. Make the noodle salad; cut the carrot into thin matchsticks (or use a julienne peeler). Thinly slice the pepper. Thinly slice the cucumber into half-moons. Pick the mint leaves from the stalks and roughly chop, along with the coriander. Add everything to a bowl. Add the cooked noodles, along with the tamari and half the orange, miso & ginger dressing. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper and toss to combine.
  4. Serve the noodle salad topped with the sliced steak. Garnish with the cashews.
