Why this Asian Noodle Salad Works
The texture of the noodles, beef and vegetables combined with big flavor from the dressing make this side dish or entrée sing!
Take a gorgeous piece of beef tenderloin, strip steak or ribeye from this...
To this. With the marinade and a grill or grill pan. Allow it to rest (or even make it the day before and then slice it down for the cold noodle salad.
My take on Asian Steak Noodle Salad has veggies, noodles, steak, herbs and more.
The vibrant dressing ties it all together and helps pack the one-two flavor punch! This salad can easily be your meal. It is also a beautiful platter to put out for brunch or a side when hosting or bringing a dish to a gathering. People will be fighting for leftovers for their lunch. I know we do!
This may seem like a lot of ingredients however it makes for a large bowl/platter and everything works in harmony. Worth it! Click here for the Asian Chicken Pasta Salad version. Even better IMO.

Asian Noodle Salad with Steak
Ingredients
- Marinade
- 1 TBS minced ginger
- 1 TBS minced garlic
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 TBS brown sugar
- 1 TBS fresh lime juice
- 1 TBS sesame oil
- A few shakes of black pepper
- 2 fillet steaks or a hunk of fillet weighing about 1 ½ pounds
- Dressing
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- ¼ cup chili with garlic sauce
- ¼ cup grapeseed or olive oil
- 2 TBS fish sauce optional
- 2 TBS sugar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- Pinch or Kosher salt
- Salad
- ½ pound linguine
- Two types of greens watercress, butter lettuce, arugula, romaine, etc one cut into ribbons and the other ripped into chunks
- 1 ½ cups Napa cabbage shredded or sliced thin
- ½ cup carrot ribbons
- 1 cup grape tomatoes halved
- 2 scallions snipped/chopped
- ¼ cups peanuts optional
- 1 avocado sliced (optional)
- Cilantro leaves to taste optional
Instructions
- Combine marinade ingredients in a jar and shake vigorously until emulsified. Place steaks in a baggie and pour marinade into the bag. Allow it to mingle for 1 hour up to overnight (refrigerated).
- Combine all dressing ingredients in a shaker jar. Shake vigorously until emulsified, taste and adjust for your preference to heat and or sweetness. If you do not enjoy the flavor of fish sauce, replace with 1 TBS of soy sauce. Set aside until ready to use, shake vigorously again before pouring over-top your platter at serving time.
- When ready to grill your steak. Remove from marinade, pat dry, season with some Kosher salt and allow steak to sit for 30 minutes at room temperature. Grill steak until done to your liking (always remember to clean and oil your grates before cooking).
- Remove steak from grill and let it rest (remember it will continue to cook for a few minutes until you slice it down, so if you are going for rare, med-rare, watch your cooking time. Slice.
- Assembling Salad
- Cook and cool linguine. Toss it with a spoonful or two of the dressing to keep it moist.
- In a large bowl, combine greens, carrots and linguine. Toss with a bit of the dressing. Turn half of it out onto your platter and scatter steak slices, tomato halves, nuts & avocado slices onto it. Scrape the remaining mixture onto the platter and repeat. Drizzle with remaining dressing and serve.

I think the recipe sounds like it would be a hit at any party. I've just recently started to add pineapple or lime juice to dishes I grill and it just gives the meat/fish a unique flavor.

This is pretty nice. I need to do a little research and found that you can order a kit to convert your grill to run on natural gas. Huge plus, our new home has a gas line on the patio for an outdoor kitchen or grill. This is great news. Great product, thanks for an amazing giveaway.
The recipe looks pretty good! I've never tried a recipe with fish sauce before so that would be new to me. I like that the alternative to that is soy sauce. 🙂 I would like to change up the menu and this looks like I can do. 😀
