Description
Tender strips of flank steak sautéed with colorful bell peppers and onions, tossed with egg noodles, and coated in a rich, smoky barbecue sauce for a comforting and flavorful American-style main course.
Ingredients
Steak and Vegetables
- 1 lb (450 g) flank steak, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Noodles and Sauce
- 8 oz (225 g) egg noodles
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
Garnish
- Green onions, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Prepare the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain them well and set aside to prevent overcooking.
- Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil, allowing it to warm up before adding ingredients.
- Season the steak: Season the thinly sliced flank steak evenly with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to enhance flavor.
- Cook the steak: Add the seasoned steak strips to the hot skillet and cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper and onion. Sauté until they become tender and slightly caramelized, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Combine steak and sauce: Return the cooked steak strips to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the barbecue sauce and soy sauce, stirring well to coat all components evenly.
- Add the noodles: Add the drained noodles to the skillet, tossing everything together carefully to ensure the noodles are fully coated with the barbecue sauce mixture and heated through.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with sliced green onions for a fresh touch, and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Choose your favorite barbecue sauce style to customize the flavor profile.
- Avoid overcooking the flank steak to maintain its tenderness and juiciness.
