Instructions:
Step 1: Prep Time!
Slice the steak into thin strips, mince the garlic, and cook the noodles according to package directions.

Heat a large skillet over high heat with a drizzle of oil. Sear the steak strips for a few minutes per side until golden brown. Set aside.
Step 3: Garlic Butter Magic!
Melt plenty of butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and golden.

Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss with the garlic butter sauce. Return the seared steak to the skillet and toss to combine.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro are great!).

Serving Suggestions
