Ingredients

3 green onions, thinly sliced diagonally, plus 2 extra

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup mirin

4 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tablespoon caster sugar

600 gram budget beef rump steak, thinly sliced

150 gram dried thick rice stick noodles

8 iceberg lettuce leaves, shredded

1 large carrot, coarsely grated

1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

Method

1.Place onion, soy sauce, mirin, garlic and sugar in a medium bowl; stir to combine. Transfer half the onion mixture to a small jug; set aside. Add beef to onion mixture in bowl; toss to combine. Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Add beef; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until browned and just cooked.

2.Meanwhile, soak noodles in boiling water in a large heatproof bowl for 5 minutes; stir to separate strands. Drain. Refresh noodles under cold water. Drain. Return to bowl. Using kitchen scissors, snip noodles into shorter pieces.

3.Add lettuce, carrot and reserved onion mixture to noodles; toss to combine. Top noodles with beef. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and extra onion. Serve.

Budget beef rump, or smart bay rump, is a cheaper alternative to rump steak. Wrap meat in plastic food wrap and freeze for 15 minutes or until just firm. This makes it easier to slice thinly. To toast sesame seeds, place in a dry frying pan over moderate heat. Cook arid stir for 2-3 minutes. Use bought soy marinade and dipping sauce instead of soy mixture.
