Directions
Dry the steak and season with salt and black pepper.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until just beginning to smoke.
Add steak and cook until well browned and temperature registers 125 degrees F using an instant read thermometer for medium-rare, 6 to 8 minutes, turning once.
Transfer to cutting board, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice steak in half lengthwise, then slice thin against grain.
Meanwhile, bring broth, ginger, and lime zest to boil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove ginger and lime zest from broth with slotted spoon. Add noodles and cook until tender, about 3 minutes.
Stir in green onions (scallions), soy sauce, and lime juice.
Transfer the noodles and broth into serving bowls and divide steak and cilantro evenly among bowls.
