Meanwhile, squeeze juice from 2 limes into a medium bowl; discard limes. Add 4 garlic cloves, finely grated, ½ cup peanut butter, ¼ cup soy sauce, 2 Tbsp. fish sauce, 2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup, and 2 Tbsp. water and whisk to combine. (It will take a few minutes to emulsify into a smooth sauce.) Set peanut sauce aside.

Heat a dry large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Pat steak dry again (the salt will have drawn out more moisture). Rub all over with 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil. Cook steak, undisturbed, until a deep golden crust forms, 4–⏱️ 5 minutes. Turn over; cook until browned on other side and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 120° for medium-rare, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Using tongs, stand steak up on an edge and cook until browned, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Repeat on remaining edges. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest ⏱️ 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, place 1 lb. dried wide rice noodles in a large pot of boiling water and stir to separate; remove pot from heat. Let noodles sit until cooked through, 8–⏱️ 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking.
