You're family will love you forever for making this one! :) It is absolutely DELICIOUS!! (and very easy...so you will love you too!)

2 packages (3 ounces each) beef-flavored ramen noodles
Boneless beef sirloin steak (3/4 inch thick)
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped (save one half for the Jalapeno Swiss burgers later this week)
1 Tbs. vegetable oil
2 Tbs. water
2 Tbs. steak sauce
1 medium carrot, shredded
2 Tbs. green onion sliced

Set aside seasoning packet from noodles. Prepare noodles according to package directions; drain and set aside. While noodles are cooking, cut steak into 3 in strips. In a large skillet, stir-fry the beef and jalapeno pepper in oil for 1-2 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Remove and keep warm.

In the same skillet, combine the noodles, water, steak sauce, carrot, onion, and contents of seasoning packet. Cook and stir until heated through. Return beef to the pan and mix in.

Dinner is served!

Side note: I take the steak out of my son's portion. One day I thought I would let him try to eat it. I thought, "He needs protein. This will be good for him". He gnawed away on one piece for a good 5 minutes before we finally told him just to spit it out. :) He loves the rest of the recipe, though. So, that helps to make up for an otherwise traumatizing experience of not knowing how to swallow a chunk of meat. :) Poor kid.
