How to Make a Beef Vermicelli Bowl

INGREDIENTS:

• 10 oz steak (I used organic grass-fed ribeye)
• 6 oz package of rice vermicelli noodles
• 1 head lettuce
• 1 bunch cilantro
• 3 large carrots, julienned
• 1 cucumber, julienned
• ¼ cup peanuts
• Lemon wedges and fresh mint leaves for garnish

Marinade:

Seoul Korean BBQ Bulgogi Sauce

• This is gluten free and non-GMO. Their Kalbi sauce is also good for this dish. You can also swap this with another one of your favorite asian BBQ marinades or link out to one from your blog.

Vermicelli Sauce:

• ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
• ½ cup water
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice

Vermicelli sauce is a popular Thai dish that is often accompanied by beef, ground pork or shrimp, rice noodles and sweet chili sauce. It might sound like it is too exotic for your family but I bet they will adore it!

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Start by marinating the beef in the sauce for at least 30 minutes. Or two hours, if you have the time.
2. Wash and prep your vegetables. Chop the lettuce into strips and roughly chop the cilantro.
3. Use a julienne slicer to thinly slice the carrots and cucumber into long strips. Set all veggie toppings aside.

4. Begin preparing your sweet chili vinaigrette. In a small bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, water, and lemon juice. Set the sauce aside.

5. Once the beef is finished marinating, heat a cast iron pan to medium heat. Cook at about 3 minutes on each side.

6. In a large pan, get water boiling for the rice noodles. Then boil the noodles as per package instructions.

7. Begin assembling your vermicelli noodle bowls. Add the noodles, lettuce, cilantro, carrots, cucumber, and meat.

8. Add peanuts, lemon wedges, and fresh mint leaves. Pour the sauce over and enjoy this delicious beef vermicelli bowl!

Serve each bowl with noodles, beef and all the toppings. Or, you can leave it up to your guests by putting out any condiments, toppings or dressings for them to add for themselves.
