These Asian-influenced Strip Filets are a great match with red bell peppers, fresh basil, fresh mint and soba noodles in a soy-ginger and lime dressing.

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush beef Filets with 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Combine 2 teaspoons ginger and garlic; press evenly onto Filets. Heat heavy, ovenproof, nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Place Filets in skillet and brown 2 minutes; turn Filets over and place skillet into preheated oven.
    2. Cook in 350°F oven 19 to 23 minutes for medium rare; 24 to 28 minutes for medium doneness.
    3. Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions; drain. Combine noodles, peas, bell pepper, basil, mint, green onion and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds in large bowl. Whisk remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, oil, lime juice and remaining 1 teaspoon ginger in small bowl until blended. Pour over noodle mixture; toss to combine. Season with additional soy sauce to taste, if desired. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.
    4. Remove Filets from oven when internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium rare; 150°F for medium. Transfer Filets to carving board; tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10°F to reach 145°F for medium rare; 160°F for medium.)
    5. Carve Filets into slices; serve with noodle salad. Garnish with additional sesame seeds, if desired.
