Ingredients

Steak and marinade

  • 1 pound skirt or flank steak
  • 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic grated
  • 1/4 cup chipotle peppers in adobo sauce chopped
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • salt and pepper

Pico

  • 2 tomatoes diced
  • 1/2 a small onion diced
  • juice of 2 limes
  • 2 jalapenos diced, some seeds removed if desired
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • 1/2 cup minced cilantro

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red vinegar
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle hot sauce
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 clove garlic grated finely
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Noodles

  • 16 oz precooked frozen or refrigerated packaged udon noodles boiled according to package instructions and strained and rinsed
  • 1 avocado sliced thin

Instructions

  • Mix the marinade ingredients in a zip lock and add the steak. Allow to marinate for 2 hours.
  • Grill the meat over high heat to medium well. Allow to rest before slicing thin against the grain, and then chopping into smaller pieces
  • Mix all the pico ingredients in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  • Put the dressing ingredients into a jar or small bowl and shake or whisk until smooth and combined.
  • Put the noodles into a large bowl and add enough of the dressing to coat. Add pico to your personal tastes, I used about 3/4 of it and thought it was enough. Toss the noodles and add more dressing and/or pico if desired.
  • Devide the noodles into serving bowls and top with the steak and avocado. Serve.
