Ginger-Sesame Soba Noodle Salad with Seared Wagyu Steak

Directions

1. Tools - Cast Iron Skillet, Small Bowl, Microplane or Zester
2. FIRST STEP Take the Miyazakigyu Wagyu picanha steak out of the freezer, and place it in the refrigerator 24 hours before starting this recipe.
3. PREPARING THE DRESSING In a small bowl, mix together all of the dressing ingredients (soy sauce, lime juice, lime zest, fish sauce, sesame oil, chile oil, minced ginger root, and grated palm sugar). Reserve. NOTE: The flavor will build over time. Taste the dressing right before applying it to the noodles, and season if necessary.
4. PREPARING THE SOBA NOODLES Cook the soba noodles according to package directions. Drain the noodles, and run them under cold water. Reserve.
5. PREPARING THE WAGYU STEAK AND BABY BOK CHOY Heat a large cast iron skillet on medium-high heat. Add in the grapeseed oil and sesame oil. Season the Miyazakigyu Wagyu picanha with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Once the skillet is slightly smoking, add in the Wagyu steak. Sear for 3 minutes on each side (for medium-rare finish). Once seared, place the seared Wagyu steak on a cutting board. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes. Lower the temperature to medium, and place the baby bok choy cut-side-down in the skillet. Cook until the baby bok choy starts to brown. Then, turn it over, and cook the other side. Reserve.
6. PREPARING THE SALAD Once the Miyazakigyu Wagyu steak has rested, cut it against the grain into thin, bite-size pieces. Mix the cooked soba noodles with the julienned carrot, cut green onions, and radish slices. Pour half of the dressing over the noodles, and mix well.
7. FINAL STEPS Divide the salad between bowls. Place the Miyazakigyu Wagyu steak slices and baby bok choy on top of each salad bowl. Serve the soba noodle and Miyazakigyu Wagyu steak salad with extra dressing on the side. Enjoy!
