Ingredients
  

  • 2 steaks ribeye or sirloin, cut into strips
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 oz egg noodles
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (optional)

Method
 

  1. 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the egg noodles until al dente (6-8 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  2. 2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season steak strips with salt and pepper, then cook for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. 3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, add butter and garlic, sautéing until fragrant (1 minute).
  4. 4. Pour in beef broth and scrape browned bits from the skillet; simmer for 2 minutes. Add the cooked noodles and steak back into the skillet; toss to combine.
  5. 5. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and heat through for an additional 1-2 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ingredient Flexibility: I love using skirt or flank steak for this because they cook so quickly and soak up the garlic butter beautifully, but any quick-cooking cut you have on hand will work.
Storage Tip: This dish is best enjoyed right away, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of broth to keep the noodles from drying out.
Avoiding a Common Mistake: Don't skip scraping up those browned bits from the pan after cooking the steak.
That fond is pure flavor gold for your sauce, and it makes all the difference.
Make-
Ahead Strategy: You can cook the egg noodles a day ahead, toss them with a tiny bit of oil to prevent sticking, and refrigerate.
This shaves precious minutes off your cook time when you're ready to assemble.
Serving Suggestion: I always finish this with a big handful of fresh chopped parsley.
The bright, herbal note cuts through the richness perfectly and makes the whole dish feel complete.
Equipment Note: A good, heavy-bottomed skillet is my best friend for this recipe.
It gives you an even sear on the steak and helps create those delicious browned bits for your sauce.
