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.
Step 4: Combine & Toss!
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
