Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225g) linguine or fettuccine
  • 1 lb (450g) sirloin steak, sliced into 1/4-inch strips
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) soy sauce

  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the steak: Slice sirloin steak into thin strips and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook the steak: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak strips and cook 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. Cook the noodles: Cook noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
  4. Make the sauce: In the same skillet, melt remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Combine everything: Add noodles, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss to coat.
  6. Add the steak: Return steak to the skillet and toss everything together until heated through.
