  You will also need sesame oil and Sriracha or other hot sauce.

In a saucepan simmer the broths, 1 tbsp soy sauce, molasses, vinegar, garlic, carrots and pepper flakes until the carrots are tender. Add a dash of fish sauce if you like. Cover and bring to a gentle boil.

In a bag or glass pan mix the other 1 tbsp soy sauce, sherry, steak seasoning and pepper. Add the steak to the marinade and turn to coat. Let sit 30 min, or longer in the fridge. Grill or broil the steak to a medium rare, let rest 5 minutes. THINLY slice across the grain and keep covered in a bowl.

Cook the linguine in lightly salted water until tender. Rinse well and toss with a bit of sesame or other oil. Keep warm in the pan.

Place the onions, herbs, spinach and limes in separate bowls.

Each person takes their bowl and adds, spinach, steak, noodles. Then ladle over some of the steaming broth and garnish with onions, herbs, lime and hot sauce.
