Ingredients

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated, peeled
1 garlic clove, grated (optional)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
2 lbs flank steaks, thinly sliced against the grain (I have subbed chicken successfully)
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated and peeled
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup water (or more if you prefer thinner sauce)
1 tablespoon soy sauce (you may not use it all)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
3 green onions, sliced
vegetable oil, for grill
2 (3 ounce) packages ramen noodles, cooked according to package instructions (seasoning packet discarded)

Method

If you plan to use wooden skewers, soak 12 of them in water for 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can grill the beef strips without skewers.
Combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of grated ginger in a shallow dish. You may add a grated garlic clove and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes if you like. Place the beef in the marinade, toss to coat, and allow it to sit for 10 minutes.
While the beef marinates, blend 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of ginger, the peanut butter, and 1/3 cup of water until smooth. Taste the sauce and add up to 1 tablespoon of soy sauce as needed, blending again. Stir in the chopped peanuts, sliced green onions, and an optional 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
Preheat your grill or grill pan. Thread the marinated beef onto the soaked skewers if using. Clean the grill grates and lightly oil them. Cook the beef for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until nicely charred and cooked through. Toss the cooked ramen noodles with the prepared peanut-ginger sauce. Serve the noodles alongside the grilled beef.
