Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
Sauce & Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Main
- 2 cups cooked noodles (ramen or udon preferred)
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced flank steak and cook for 3-5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Make the sauce: Add the butter, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and ground black pepper to the skillet. Stir continuously until the butter melts and the sauce is well-blended.
- Toss noodles: Add the pre-cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing them thoroughly to coat evenly with the garlic butter sauce.
- Combine steak and noodles: Return the cooked flank steak to the skillet. Toss all ingredients together until everything is well mixed and heated through.
- Serve: Plate the noodles and steak mixture and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Flank steak can be substituted with sirloin or skirt steak for similar texture and flavor.
- Use freshly cooked noodles or high-quality store-bought cooked noodles for the best result.
- Adjust soy sauce amount to taste if you prefer a saltier or milder flavor.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free soy sauce and gluten-free noodles.
- Ensure garlic is sautéed gently to avoid burning and bitterness.
