This dish is simple to assemble. While your steak is marinating, cook the rice noodles and chop carrots, cucumbers and scallions.

And if you have leftovers, make these wraps again for lunch. You can also use the fillings in this recipe and wrap them in a tortilla, serve them over rice or incorporate them into a salad.
