Wow this is good. I used porterhouse steak, oh my god it came out so tender it just melted in my mouth. I improvised a bit with quantities and used heavy dark mushroom soy sauce, also just used ramen noodles undercooked and stirred through, turned out one of the best dishes I’ve ever made. Only thing I will do different next time is microwave some verges, cauli, broccoli and celery to cooked but still crisp, then stir them in at the end for a more complete meal with a bit of different texture and flavour to enjoy.

It’s calculated based on 1 serving so the total calories will be based on 3 servings that’s generated by this recipe.
The noodles are in the quantity of uncooked.

Very tasty, and perfect for easy and quick dinner, however I calorie count for various reasons and I don’t really understand how a serving is 385 kcal with the quantities given in the recipe… And also the eternal question: the noodles, is the quantity in the recipe cooked or uncooked?

Overall nice recipe but the sauce is quite salty.

You can use any cheap cut of beef as long as you cut it against the grain. Actually the cheaper cuts are more flavorful anyway.

Made this with a combination of Chuck and Flank steak, Lo mein noodles and added a few bean sprouts. Made it in a wok and you really have to crank up the heat when you first add the meat since the thin metal of the Wok cools quickly. Super easy to make and very delicious. Since there are multiple things to do it’s a good way to get the entire family involved in cooking

I haven’t tried the recipe yet but I just wanted to leave a comment you refer to flank steak as being a more budget friendly cut of meat I don’t know where you buy your meat but where I live as one of the most expensive cut of meat. What would be a good substitute using an even more budget friendly cut?
