Summer Squash and Steak Noodle Bowls

the fastest nice dinner you'll make this week

2 of my favorite things during summertime include summer squash (aka zucchini) and grilled steak.

There’s something very lovely and summer-y about this combination, and this dinner is a fun way to incorporate both of those ingredients into a well balanced meal.

Both steak and zucchini cook very quickly, so you can also get this on the table in under 30 minutes. I use the quick cooking 3 minute ramen-esc noodle packs, but you’re welcome to use fresh noodles or even rice noodles.

To make this meal super simple, I use the liquid sauce from the ramen noodle pack. There’s so much flavor from the steak, charred scallion, and zucchini, that this the sauce is just enough seasoning (and liquid) to pull everything together.

For those of you who really want to make your own sauce, or aren’t using prepackaged noodle pack (like momofuku) you can use 1 tablespoon of chili oil, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of neutral oil instead of the sauce packet.
