Making Garlic Butter Steak Lightning Noodles is as simple as following these steps:
1. Cook the Noodles: In a pot of boiling water, add the noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sear the Steak: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Once hot, add the steak strips, seasoned with salt and black pepper. Sear for about 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked to your liking.
3. Add Garlic: Reduce the heat to medium, push the steak to one side of the skillet, and add the remaining butter. Once it melts, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
4. Combine Ingredients: Stir in the cooked noodles, soy sauce, and any additional seasonings (like red chili flakes) to taste. Toss everything together and cook for another minute to heat through.
5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of color. Serve immediately!
These steps make it incredibly easy to prepare a gourmet meal in no time. The flavors are rich, and the dish is beautifully finished with the fresh parsley garnish on top.
