# Ingredients:

→ Garnishes

01 - Sprinkle as many toasted sesame seeds as you like
02 - Chop fresh parsley or some green onions for the top, use however much you want
03 - Toss on extra red pepper flakes if you're into heat

→ For the Sauce

04 - 4 garlic cloves, chop them up really small
05 - 45 ml soy sauce
06 - 30 ml honey
07 - 13 g brown sugar
08 - 30 ml sriracha sauce
09 - 15 ml rice vinegar
10 - 5 ml sesame oil
11 - 5 g red pepper flakes, crushed
12 - 30 ml water

→ For the Pasta

13 - 225 g spaghetti
14 - Salt for cooking the noodles
15 - 30 g unsalted butter

→ For the Steak

16 - 450 g sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
17 - Salt, just enough for your taste
18 - Fresh ground black pepper, to your liking
19 - 15 ml soy sauce
20 - 15 ml olive oil
21 - 5 g cornstarch (you can skip it)

# Steps:

01 - Pile everything onto plates. Cover it with sesame seeds, chopped herbs, and some extra pepper flakes if you want. Dive in right away.
02 - Slide your pasta into the pan of sauce. Stir it around so everything gets nice and coated. Add a splash of the pasta water if it looks thick. Drop in the seared steak, mix until everything’s hot and mingled.
03 - Keep using the same frying pan but turn the heat to medium. Toss in chopped garlic, let it smell good in there. Add your soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, sriracha, rice vinegar, sesame oil, those pepper flakes, plus water. Let it bubble and thicken until it’s shiny.
04 - Crank your skillet to high and pour in olive oil. Cook steak cubes in a couple rounds so the pan’s not crowded. Let them brown up and check doneness. Once you like the look, remove them from heat.
05 - Grab some paper towels, dry off your steak chunks. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper and a bit of soy sauce. Dust with cornstarch if you feel like a crispy edge.
06 - Fill a big pot with salted water and set it boiling fast. Cook your spaghetti by pack directions till just firm. Save about 120 ml of that hot water, then drain it. Throw the pasta back in the pot with butter melted in.

# Notes:

01 - Spread out those steak bites as they cook—give them room to brown and stay tender. If your pan’s too small, just cook in batches.
02 - Mixing butter through hot noodles makes them richer and helps the sauce stick right onto them.
