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

  1. Carefully slice the flank steak into delicate, thin strips against the meat’s natural grain for optimal tenderness.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Transfer the prepared noodles directly into the skillet, gently folding and tossing to ensure each strand becomes luxuriously coated with the savory beef sauce.
  6. 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.
