1

Pierce the steak all over with a fork and place in a large sealable plastic bag. Add the olive oil, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, garlic salt, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Seal bag and marinate steak for an hour, and up to overnight.
2

Brush a little bit of oil on a grill pan and grill the steak on both sides until your preferred doneness. Remove from the pan, cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
3

In a large sauté pan, add the coconut milk, peanut butter, brown sugar, sambal oelek, lime juice, fish sauce, the remaining 3 tablespoons soy sauce and stock. Whisk over a medium heat until it starts to lightly bubble.
4

Add the soba noodles, snow peas and red bell pepper and continue to stir until the soba noodles have softened, 5-8 minutes.
5

Thinly slice the steak and serve on top of a small mound of noodles and vegetables. Garnish with scallions and cilantro leaves. Garnish with chopped peanuts, if desired. Serve immediately.
