instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients
Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Peel the ginger; finely chop to get 2 teaspoons (you may have extra). Slice the scallions into 1/2-inch pieces, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers; cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Thoroughly wash your hands, knife, and cutting board immediately after handling. In a bowl, combine the pepper pieces, chopped garlic, chopped ginger, and sliced white bottoms of the scallions.
2
Make the sauce
In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, demi-glace, sugar, 1/3 cup of water, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be.
3
Cook the peppers
In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the prepared pepper mixture; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 3 to 4 minutes, or until softened. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan.
4
Cook the steaks
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on all sides (you’ll omit the cornstarch for steak). In the same pan, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned steaks. Cook, turning occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes for medium-rare, or until browned and cooked to your desired degree of doneness.* Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes.
*An instant-read thermometer should register 145°F.
5
Cook the noodles
Meanwhile, add the noodles to the pot of boiling water, stirring gently to separate. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 4 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot.
6
Finish the noodles & serve your dish
To the pot of cooked noodles, add the cooked vegetables and sauce. Cook on medium-high, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes, or until coated. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Find the lines of muscle (or grain) on the rested steaks; slice crosswise against the grain. Serve the finished noodles topped with the sliced steaks. Garnish with the sliced green tops of the scallions. Enjoy!
