Instructions

  1. Marinate steak

    Combine oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, garlic powder and pepper. Coat steak and marinate 20-30 minutes.
  2. Make dressing

    Pound garlic, chilies and 1 tbsp sugar. Stir in cilantro, fish sauce, water, lime juice, remaining sugar and optional MSG.
  3. Sear steak

    Wipe off excess marinade. Heat oil in skillet and sear steak about 3 minutes per side, adjusting for thickness and doneness. Rest 5-10 minutes and cut into bite-sized cubes against the grain.
  4. Prepare noodles

    Cook noodles following package directions, rinse with cool water and drain.
  5. Assemble salad

    Combine romaine, arugula, mint and noodles. Add cubed steak, tomatoes, avocado, persimmon, pomegranate and peanuts, plus optional Granny Smith.
  6. Dress

    Toss with some lime fish sauce dressing and add more to taste just before serving.

Note

Serves 3-4 with two steaks. Add dressing gradually and serve extra on the side. Use mango in warmer months instead of persimmon and pomegranate. Granny Smith adds extra tartness.
