Instructions

  1. Score both sides of the flank steak.   For the beef marinade, add all the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Mix.  Place flank steak in a resealable bag and pour marinade over the beef. Reseal bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. In a large pot of salted water cook soba noodles for 2-3 minutes or until al dente.  Strain noodles and rinse in cold water.  Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.  Can be made 1 day in advance.
  3. Toss all salad ingredients together in a large bowl except for the nuts.  Set aside while making the dressing.
  4. Place all dressing ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
  5. Heat an outdoor grill or grill pan.  Remove beef from marinade and place on hot grill.  Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side for medium.  Grill for about 5 minutes if you would like beef more rare.  Remove from grill and let stand for 15 minutes before slices to retain meat juices then cut into thin slices.
  6. Toss 1/3 cup of the mango dressing with the noodles and toss 1/3 cup mango dressing with the greens.  On a large platter layer salad greens, pickled ginger, noodles, repeat.  Beginning and ending with the salad greens. Sprinkle top with toasted almonds.  Arrange beef around the sides of the salad.
