Method

  1. Use a spiraliser to make the courgetti or slice into thin strands. Toss with the fish sauce, rice vinegar, sugar and a pinch of salt. Chill for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4 and roast the peanuts with the sesame seeds until golden. Cool.
  2. Heat a griddle pan. Rub the black vinegar (from Waitrose and Asian shops) and a splash of oil into the steaks. Season, fry for 2 minutes on each side (medium-rare), then rest.
  3. Squeeze the courgettes in a new folded J-cloth, discard any excess liquid, then toss in a bowl with the peanuts and sesame seeds. Slice the steaks and the chillies, then stir into the ‘noodles’ with the bunch coriander leaves.

  1. Next time make this dish with seared chicken instead of steak. If you don’t have a griddle pan you can use a frying pan.

  1. I love this recipe because it’s a great way to get more tasty veg into my diet! I’ve never been a fan of ‘carb-cutting’ for the sake of losing weight …but when the replacements are as ‘delicious’ as this then who can complain!
