Beef with crispy noodles is a takeaway favourite, but this is a slightly more high-end version, which uses sous vide to cook the beef to tender perfection. After being cooked at 134.6F/57 C, this steak is medium-rare. It's served alongside a nest of crispy noodles with some veggies and sauce poured over the top.

Pat steaks dry, season with salt and pepper and sear for 1 minute each side using some of the oil that you used to deep fry the noodles, then slice. Serve noodles on the bottom, then veg mixture on top, then finally the sliced steak over the whole thing. Season the steak again with salt and pepper.
