    Whisk together marinade ingredients. Place steaks in a low sided dish and pour over marinade. Toss to coat. Cover. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or longer if you wish.

  2. Step 2

    Prepare salad ingredients. Cut carrots and cucumber into thin matchstick pieces. Trim snow peas and spring onions, cut into thin strips. Place in a mixing bowl with the mint and coriander leaves.

  3. Step 3

    Remove steaks from marinade. Heat a frying pan and cook steaks over a high heat for 2-3 minutes each side until steak is done to your liking. Alternatively, these can be cooked on a preheated BBQ. Remove the steaks from the heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Slice steaks thinly on an angle across the grain.

  4. Step 4

    Just before serving toss meat into the prepared salad with the crispy noodles and dressing with a lime wedge if you wish.
