1 1/2 pounds flank steak
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 package (3.75 ounces) cellophane noodles
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as safflower
6 scallions, trimmed; 3 thinly sliced and 3 cut into thirds
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1 garlic clove, minced
8 Boston lettuce leaves
1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and cut into strips

Steps:

Heat broiler, with rack 4 inches from heat. Place steak on a large rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Broil until medium-rare, 10 to 12 minutes, turning halfway through. Transfer to a cutting board. Let rest 10 minutes, tented with foil.
While steak rests, cook noodles until tender according to package instructions; drain and return to pot. Add 1 tablespoon oil and the sliced scallions; season with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine lime juice, cilantro, garlic, and remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season sauce with salt and pepper.
Thinly slice steak against the grain. Fill lettuce leaves with beef, mango, and remaining scallion pieces; drizzle with sauce. Serve with noodles.
Cutting a Mango
Peel the mango with a sharp vegetable peeler or knife. Stand upright and cut both sides away from the large oblong pit in the center, then cut the flesh into thin slices (or as directed in a specific recipe).
