Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Sauce
- 1 lb skirt steak, cut into thin strips
- 1 Tbsp oil
- ½ cup hot sauce
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tbsp white vinegar
- 1 Tbsp minced onion
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 3 Tbsp brown sugar
Noodles and Garnish
- 2 (3-oz) packages ramen noodles, any flavor
- Green onions, sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Open the ramen noodles and discard the flavor packets. Boil the noodles in water for 3 minutes until tender, then drain and set aside to keep warm.
- Cook Steak: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the skirt steak strips and cook until they begin to brown and develop a nice sear.
- Make Sauce: Add the hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, white vinegar, minced onion, minced garlic, and brown sugar to the skillet with the steak. Stir well to combine and reduce the heat to simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Toss Noodles: Add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet with the sauce and steak. Toss everything together thoroughly to coat the noodles evenly with the spicy sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions over the top for a fresh flavor and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Be sure to cut the steak into thin strips to ensure quick and even cooking.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce to control the spiciness of the dish according to your preference.
- Discarding the ramen flavor packets prevents overpowering the sauce and keeps flavors balanced.
- For extra texture, you can add stir-fried vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas along with the steak.
- Use fresh green onions as garnish just before serving to keep them crisp and vibrant.
