About

There is a lot of chopping and marinating in this recipe but it is so worth the effort – it’s my favourite salad that I’ve ever created. I am a fresh coriander and mint fiend and this is proven in the recipe – don’t scrimp on the fresh herbs or lime!

The steak needs to be marinated in the fridge overnight.
If you’re making this salad for someone gluten/wheat free, be sure to use free-from soya sauce and swap the egg noodles for rice noodles.
