More About This Recipe

  • The idea to make this noodle dish really just came out of nowhere, but I am glad it popped into my head because it was one of the best things I have eaten in months.

    Grilled skirt steak and bok choy with udon noodles is a great weeknight summertime dinner. It's easy to pull together, and all you have to do is light the grill and boil some water. In fact, most Asian markets sell perfectly good pre-cooked udon, so if you want to skip the boiling water part, go ahead!

    As a topping, I quick-pickled some jalapenos. You can follow the 10 minute recipe here, and keep these guys in your fridge for weeks.

    The quick pickled jalapenos.

    Lightly toss the bok choy in sesame oil and toss that on the grill before the steak. Just a few minutes a side will char them nicely but leave a good crunch to the vegetable.

    The marinated steak on the grill. The sugar in the marinade makes this smell awesome as it hits the grill.

    It is very important to slice the beef against the grain to keep it nice and tender. See all that juice from the steak? Be sure to collect that in the pasta bowl!

    I like to get the thickest udon noodles available. As I mentioned earlier, most Asian markets have these already cooked in the refrigerator section.

    Tossing everything together. Make sure you rinse the noodles before tossing them with everything else! Asian style noodles are very starchy and need to be rinsed after boiling.

    Topped with the pickled jalapenos, some scallions, and of course, sriracha!

    These noodles were amazing! I thought this was best at room temperature, but feel free to eat it at the temperature you desire.
