Beef Pan Fried Noodles

If needed, cook the noodles to the package instructions. Set aside.
To a large non-stick skillet, add 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Heat oil over medium high heat until hot and sizzling.
Sauté the veggies: Add onions to the hot oil. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add cabbage and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cabbage is slightly wilted.
Remove onions and cabbage from pan and allow to rest on a large plate.
Return skillet to burner and add 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Heat oil over medium-high heat until hot and sizzling.
Sear the beef: Pat the beef strips dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Then, add beef to the skillet and sear in a single layer for 3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Remove steak strips from the skillet and allow to rest on a separate, paper towel-lined plate.
Return the skillet to the burner and add the remaining ½ tablespoons of oil. Heat over low-medium heat.
Make the sauce: Add green onions and sauté for 1 minute. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, scraping the bottom of the pan frequently.
Reduce burner to low heat. Add soy sauce, sugar and black pepper and stir vigorously to combine. The sauce will thicken quickly, stir for about one minute.
Toss cooked, drained noodles into the soy sauce mixture to combine. Add sauteed onions, cabbage, and beef. Toss again to coat the ingredients with the sauce.
Serve warm with diced green onions, sesame seeds or crushed red pepper flakes on top of the noodles.
