Ingredients
Scale
This recipe is all about simplicity and bold flavors. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 8 oz steak (sirloin or ribeye works best), thinly sliced
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
If you’re feeling adventurous, swap the steak for chicken or even tofu for a vegetarian twist. The key is to keep it simple and work with what you have on hand—just like my mom used to do.
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Here’s how to bring this dish to life:
- Start by cooking the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the steak slices, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned but not completely cooked through. Remove steak from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the soy sauce, honey, and red pepper flakes (if using). Let the mixture simmer for a minute.
- Return the steak to the skillet, along with the cooked noodles. Toss everything together until the noodles are well-coated and the steak is cooked to your liking, about 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
There you have it—a meal that’s as quick as it is satisfying. I love how this dish comes together in the same skillet, saving on cleanup and making my life just a tad easier.
