Description
A delicious and flavorful dish combining sweet and spicy elements with tender steak and pasta.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces spaghetti
- 1 pound flank steak, sliced thin against the grain
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the flank steak with salt and pepper, then add it to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned, stirring occasionally. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return the cooked steak to the skillet, tossing to coat it in the sauce. Add the cooked spaghetti and toss everything together until well combined.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the steak with sautéed mushrooms or tofu.
- Add steamed vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli for extra nutrition and color.
