Place noodles in a bowl, cover with boiling water and leave for 5 minutes until almost tender. Gently separate noodles with a fork. Drain and rinse under cold water.
While noodles are softening, heat 1 Tbsp peanut oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook chilli and ginger for 2 minutes. Add peanut butter, soy sauce, palm sugar, water, fish sauce and coconut milk. Whisk to combine. Reduce heat to low.
Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a wok or frying pan. Season steak with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and cook for 1 minute on each side for medium rare (see Cook’s Note). Remove from wok or frying pan and place on a board to rest.
Cook onion wedges and broccolini in a frying pan for 2 minutes. Add garlic and carrot and cook for 2 minutes. Add noodles and most of the peanut sauce to the pan and simmer for 1 minute.
Slice beef finely and stir through noodles. Top with beansprouts and coriander leaves. Serve with remaining peanut sauce on the side.
Cook's tip
- As this is a nutty-flavoured dish it’s good to use peanut oil to stir-fry your ingredients.
- The meat may look rare after you’ve fried it, but once it’s sliced and stirred through the noodles it will continue to cook.
