Equipment
- 1 large skillet or frying pan
- 1 pot for boiling noodles
- 1 colander
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 tongs or a fork
Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak
- 8 oz rice noodles
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce optional
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 2 green onions chopped for garnish
- Fresh cilantro for garnish, optional
- Lime wedges for serving, optional
Instructions
- Begin by cooking the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside in a colander.
- While the noodles are cooking, prepare the flank steak. Pat it dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted and bubbling, add the flank steak to the skillet.
- Sear the steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant but not browned.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet along with soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using). Toss to combine and heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the sliced steak to the noodle mixture and toss to coat everything in the garlic butter sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve the garlic butter steak lightning noodles hot, garnished with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro if desired. Serve alongside lime wedges for a zesty kick.
