    1 In a small bowl, combine wasabi, mirin, soy sauce and vinegar. Pour half into a shallow glass or ceramic dish, reserving the remainder.
    Add steak to dish and coat with marinade. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.

    2 Preheat a chargrill pan or barbecue hotplate to medium-high. Drain the steak of excess marinade, lightly spray with oil and cook for 2-3 minutes each side for medium, or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate, loosely cover with foil and set aside for 5 minutes.

    3 Meanwhile, in a saucepan of boiling water, cook soba noodles according to packet instructions, or until al dente. Add broccolini for last 2 minutes of cooking time. Drain well.

    4 Slice beef thinly. In a large bowl, combine noodles, broccolini, spinach, capsicum, onion and beef. Add reserved marinade and gently toss to combine. Garnish with sesame seeds to serve.
