Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Noodles
- 8 oz flank steak, thinly sliced
- 8 oz egg noodles or ramen noodles, cooked
Sauce and Seasonings
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp honey
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
Garnishes
- ¼ cup green onions, sliced

Instructions
- Sear the steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced flank steak and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté garlic: In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.

- Toss noodles in sauce: Add the cooked egg or ramen noodles to the skillet. Toss them thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the garlic butter sauce.
- Combine steak and noodles: Return the seared steak slices back into the skillet. Gently stir to combine all ingredients well without breaking the noodles.
- Heat through: Cook the combined noodles and steak for an additional 2 minutes to ensure everything is heated through and flavors are well blended.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy your flavorful Garlic Butter Steak Lightning Noodles!
