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
- 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 to rest.
- Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
- Create the Garlic Butter Sauce: Add the unsalted butter, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and ground black pepper to the skillet. Stir continuously until the butter melts completely and the sauce is well combined and smooth.
- Toss Noodles in Sauce: Add the cooked noodles (ramen or udon) to the skillet. Toss them thoroughly to ensure they are fully coated with the garlic butter sauce.
- Combine Steak and Noodles: Return the cooked steak to the skillet and toss everything together gently. Heat through for another 1-2 minutes to blend flavors.
- Serve: Plate the garlic butter steak noodles immediately and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a bright, fresh finish.
Notes
- Use flank steak or another thinly sliced cut for best results and quick cooking.
- Cook the noodles separately as per package instructions before adding to the skillet.
- Adjust soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce according to taste preferences or dietary restrictions.
- Garnish with parsley or substitute with green onions for a different flavor profile.
- This recipe can be adapted for gluten-free by using gluten-free soy sauce and noodles.
