Instructions:

3. Make the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce, lime juice, vinegar, and brown sugar.
- Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside.
4. Cook the Beef:
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and coat it with a short spray of cooking spray oil.
- Add the thinly sliced beef and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until it’s browned and cooked through. Remove from heat.
5. Assemble the Salad:

- Toss everything together gently to ensure the dressing is evenly distributed.
6. Garnish and Serve:

- Garnish with toasted and chopped cashews.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing and flavorful Beef and Broccoli Noodle Salad!

Tips:

- Ensure the rice noodles are not overcooked; they should be tender but firm to the bite.

- Use fresh ingredients, especially the basil leaves, to enhance the flavors.

- Feel free to add more vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for extra color and nutrients.

- Marinating the beef with a bit of fish sauce and lime juice before cooking can add extra flavor.

- Toss the salad just before serving to keep the noodles from becoming soggy.
