Ponzu Soba Noodles with Broiled Flank Steak

After Mother's day, I made this Ponzu Soba Noodles with Broiled Flank Steak from Cuisine at Home. It was delicious! I really like ponzu. It is a light citrus flavored soy condiment. It is great on anything you want to give an Asian flare. It went surprisingly well with the basil too. But let me warn you this salad is best fresh. I noticed the basil sort of took over all the other flavors the next day. So if you plan to make ahead add the basil just before serving. The steak was nice and tender. I know some of you are looking at this photo and thinking is that steak cooked. It was a perfect medium rare. I find that flank steak gets tough if you over cook it. So if you like your steak well done choose another cut of beef. This was my first experience with soba noodles. They are so silky in texture. At least that is what dear sister said. I will definitely make this salad and soba noodles again.
