Here’s a delicious recipe for Garlic Butter Steak Lightning Noodles:

Ingredients:

For the Steak:

• 2 boneless ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1-inch thick)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)

For the Lightning Noodles:

• 8 oz egg noodles or your preferred noodles
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce or sriracha (adjust to heat preference)
• 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro or green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

Step 1: Cook the Steak

1. Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Once the skillet is hot, add the steaks. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side (for medium-rare), or until the desired doneness is reached.
4. When the steaks are almost done, add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Spoon the melted garlic butter over the steaks, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to infuse the flavor.
5. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 2: Cook the Noodles

1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a separate skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
3. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), rice vinegar, brown sugar, and chili garlic sauce to the skillet. Stir until well combined.
4. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss them in the sauce until evenly coated. Adjust seasoning to taste.
5. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Dish

1. Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips.
2. Plate the lightning noodles and top with the garlic butter steak slices.
3. Garnish with cilantro or green onions, and serve immediately.
