Vietnamese-style Grilled Steak With Noodles

Our experience of God will never reach its consummation. We will never finally arrive, as if upon reaching a peak we discover there is nothing beyond. Our experience of God will never become stale. It will deepen and develop, intensify and amplify, unfold and increase, broaden and balloon. Our relishing and rejoicing in God will sharpen and spread and extend and progress and mature and flower and blossom and widen and stretch and swell and snowball and inflate and lengthen and augment and advance and proliferate and accumulate and accelerate and multiply and heighten and reach a crescendo that will even then be only the beginning of an eternity of new and fresh insights into the majesty of who God is!

INSTRUCTIONS

In a kettle of boiling salted water boil the capellini until it is
just tender and drain it in a colander. Rinse the xcapellini under
cold water and drain it well. While the noodles are boiling, in a
blender blend the vinegar, 1 tablespoon water, the soy sauce, the
garlic, the sugar, the red pepper flakes, the salt, and the anchovy
paste until the sauce is smooth. In a bowl toss the noodles with the
sauce and the shredded mint.  Heat a well-seasoned ridged grill pan
over moderately high heat until  it is hot and in it grill the steaks,
patted dry and seasoned with  salt and pepper, for 3 to 4 minutes on
each side, or until they are  springy to the touch, for medium-rare
meat. (Alternatively the steaks  may be grilled on an oiled rack set 4
to 5 inches over glowing coals  for the same amount of time.) Transfer
the steaks to a cutting board  and let them stand for 5 minutes. Cut
the steaks into thin slices.  Divide the noodles between 2 plates,
mounding them, arrange the  slices of steak on them, and surround the
noodles with the bean  sprouts and the bell pepper. Garnish each
serving with a mint sprig.  Serves 2.  Gourmet June 1991  Converted by
