Ingredients
- 16 oz ribeye steak, angus, or wagyu ribeye steak
- 1½ tsp ground black pepper
- ¼ cup light soy sauce
- ¼ cup mirin
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 packs chapagetti

- 4 cups water, (up to 5 cups)
To Serve (Optional):
- ¼ cup scallions, chopped

Instructions
- Slice your ribeye steak into 1-inch square or bite-size pieces and marinate in pepper, light soy sauce, and mirin.
- Place your pan over high heat and heat up the olive oil and butter until lightly smokey.
- Place 2 cloves of garlic and sear your ribeye steak until nicely browned. Reserved the pan with the oil and butter.
- Boil 4 to 5 cups of water and cook your noodles and dried vegetables. If you prefer the noodles al dente, boil them for 2 minutes. Strain your noodles and vegetables, reserving some of the water.
- Place the pan you used to sear your steaks on medium heat and place your noodles and vegetables and about a cup of your noodle water.
