Method

Method 1. Preheat oven to 180°C degrees Celsius. 2. Place the salt, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, honey, star anise and cinnamon in a large bowl and mix to combine. Add the beef, toss to coat and set aside in the fridge for 1 hour to marinate. 3. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and pat the beef dry. Cook the beef, turning occasionally, for 6 minutes or until dark golden. Place on an oven tray and cook in the oven for 20 minutes for medium-rare or until cooked to your liking. 4. Bring the miso broth to a simmer and keep on low heat until serving time. 5. Add the reserved marinade to a pan and cook for 3 minutes or until slightly reduced. Strain through a fine sieve, place in a small bowl, add the onion and mix to combine. Place the noodles, lime juice and cucumber in a large bowl and gently toss to combine. Slice the beef and divide the salad and beef between bowls. Pour over the green tea broth and a drizzle of sweet soy sauce. 6. Serve with the dressing, chilli and fresh herbs.
