Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb flank steak, sirloin, or ribeye, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 6 oz fresh or dried noodles ramen or spaghetti work well
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons beef broth or water
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) for heat
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Large pot for boiling noodles
  • Tongs or spatula
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced steak with soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), cornstarch, and sesame oil. Toss until well-coated and marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving some pasta water.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak and cook for 3-4 minutes or until browned and fully cooked. Remove steak from skillet.
  4. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil and melt the butter over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic and grated ginger for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Stir in soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey or brown sugar, and beef broth. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  6. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the garlic butter sauce, tossing to coat. Return the cooked steak to the skillet and stir to combine. Adjust the sauce consistency with reserved pasta water if needed.
  7. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes for heat and serve immediately.

Notes

Let the steak sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before marinating for better flavor absorption. Feel free to add some chopped vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for added crunch and nutrition. For a creamier sauce, you can stir in a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of sour cream. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently with some water or broth to retain moisture. To make it even healthier, consider using zoodles (zucchini noodles) instead of traditional noodles.
