Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Sauce
- 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
- 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
Noodles and Garnish
- 2 cups cooked noodles (ramen or udon preferred)
- 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 skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Garlic: Using the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Make the Sauce: Add the unsalted butter, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and ground black pepper to the skillet. Stir continuously until the butter has melted and all ingredients are well combined into a smooth sauce.
- Toss Noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss well to coat the noodles evenly with the garlic butter sauce.
- Combine Steak and Noodles: Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the noodles and toss together gently until everything is heated through and flavors meld perfectly.
- Serve and Garnish: Plate the noodles and steak mixture immediately and garnish with fresh parsley before serving hot.
Notes
- Use thinly sliced flank steak for quick cooking and tender results.
- Ramen or udon noodles work best for texture but you can substitute with any cooked noodles you prefer.
- For extra flavor, let the steak marinate briefly in soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce before cooking.
- Be careful not to overcook the garlic to avoid bitterness.
- Adjust black pepper according to your spice preference.
