Mix all dressing ingredients except sesame seeds and spring onions in a bowl.
Pour 2 tablespoons of dressing over the meat and allow to marinate for a few minutes.
Cook soba noodles in boiling water for approx. 8 mins or as directed on packet. In last 3 minutes of cooking time add beans to blanch using a wire sieve for easy separation.
Cook beef in hot pan with a dash of peanut oil, about 3 minutes each side. Rest and slice.
Serve in bowl with noodles, beans and top with thinly sliced beef.
Add sesame seeds to the dressing. Dress the dish generously with the dressing and top with crispy shallots.
Tried this as a first for a dinner party and was a huge hit. Flavors were fantastic. I did green beans and asparagus and both went down a treat, couldn't find green tea soba noodles so used plain ones but made no difference to the overall flavors of the dish, highly recommended and will certainly be cooking this again!! Thank you Anna for such a wonderful dish!!
Fantasic flavors. Top quality eye fillet is a key. Sauce was fantastic - recommend toasting the sesame seeds on your own versus buying them toasted. Green beans were good, but we thought they were a bit overpowering so balance was a little off. We are going to experiment with others like gai lan, baby bok choy or baby asparagus. Would highly recommend the recipe - it is quick, easy, flavourful and healthy
