Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • 2 3/4 inch-thick steaks (about 1 pound)
  • 6 ounces capellini, or other thin spaghetti
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes or cayenne
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon anchovy paste
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, shredded, or 1 teaspoon dried, crumbled
  • 3/4 cup fresh bean sprouts, washed
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips

Preparation:

In a kettle of boiling salted water boil the capellini until it is just tender and drain it in a colander. Rinse the capellini under cold water and drain. While the noodles are boiling, in a blender blend the vinegar, 1 tablespoon water, soy sauce, garlic, sugar, red pepper flakes or cayenne, salt, and anchovy paste until the sauce is smooth. In a bowl toss the noodles with the sauce and the shredded mint. Grill steaks on an oiled grate until medium rare. Remove from grill and let stand for 5 minutes. Cut the steaks into thin slices. Divide the noodles between 2 plates, mounding them, arrange the slices of steak on them, and surround the noodles with the bean sprouts and the bell pepper.
