- Replace the cooking grids with the drop-in roasting pan Preheat the barbecue to 400°F (200°C). You can also use a wok or cast iron frying pan.
- Season the steak with salt and pepper. Sear over direct heat for a few minutes per side, until grill marks form.
- Meanwhile, while the steak is searing, pour half of the oil into your pan and add the vegetables, cooking for a minute or two until they begin to get tender. Add the pepper flakes, garlic, soy, sriracha, and sugar, reducing the heat directly below the pan, and allow everything to simmer.
- The steak should be done at a temperature between 120°F and 135°F (49°C to 57°C). If the steak is done before the veg and noodle, set aside to rest. If it needs a little more time, place it on the warming rack or turn off the burners directly below.
- Once the vegetables are cooked, stir in the udon, the noodles may need to be loosened with hot water before, and toss them with the saucy veg.
- Rest and then slice the steak. Serve the udon in a bowl topped with your perfect steak and garnished with green onion or sesame seeds.
