Sauteed Noodles & Steak


A delicious snack, lunch, dinner, whatever you want to eat it for. Not only is it a simple recipe, it's REALLY affordable. 


Ingredients:
  • Ketchup( 5-8 ketchup packets)
  • 2 tbs minced garlic
  • A package of shoulder steak( it should be about $3-4 worth)
  • a package of wide egg noodles
  • 3 tbs. of chopped onion
  • 2 tbs. of oil (preferably olive)
  • 4-5 tbs. of soy sauce

Preparation:
  • Clean the steak. Slice the shoulder steak into thin- ish slices. Sprinkle a bit with soy sauce, salt, and pepper.

Instructions:
  1. Bring a pot of salted water to boil. Cook the noodles for about 5 minutes. Drain in a stainer. ( Follow the instructions on the back of the package.)
  2. In the meantime, on medium high heat , cook the minced garlic, onions, and olive oil for a few seconds in a large skillet. Toss in the sliced shoulder steak, and mix it around a bit. Cook the meat medium style, where it's slightly still pink. (You don't want to cook the meat too well because we're gonig to cook it again with the noodles later.) 
  3. Using the same large pot(without the water,) pour a tbs. of olive oil in and add the garlic-steak mixture. Throw in the cooked noodles, and mix evenly. Squeeze in all the ketchup, and pour in a about 3 rings of soy sauce. Toss evenly. Sprinkle generously with pepper and salt. (Add sriracha, or crushed red pepper if you want it to have a kick :)
