Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) flank steak, thinly sliced
Noodles:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) fresh egg noodles
Seasonings and Aromatics:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) sesame oil (plus extra for tossing noodles)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Carefully slice the flank steak into delicate, thin strips against the meat’s natural grain for optimal tenderness.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil and cook egg noodles for 4-5 minutes until perfectly al dente. Drain thoroughly and gently coat with fragrant sesame oil to prevent sticking.
- Fire up a skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of cooking oil. Introduce steak strips and create a golden-brown sear, approximately 2-3 minutes per side, developing rich caramelization.
- Introduce minced garlic to the sizzling pan, releasing its aromatic essence. Immediately pour in robust soy sauce and sprinkle brown sugar, creating a glossy, tantalizing glaze.
- Transfer the prepared noodles directly into the skillet, gently folding and tossing to ensure each strand becomes luxuriously coated with the savory beef sauce.
- Scatter freshly sliced green onions across the dish, adding a vibrant pop of color and crisp, pungent flavor. Serve piping hot and savor the harmonious blend of textures and tastes.
Notes
- Slice beef against the grain for maximum tenderness and easier chewing.
- Use room temperature meat to ensure even cooking and prevent tough texture.
- Select a high-quality flank steak with good marbling for richer flavor and juiciness.
- Swap egg noodles with rice noodles or zucchini noodles for gluten-free or low-carb alternatives.
