Cut 1.2 lbs of outside skirt steak into bite-sized pieces, cutting two long strips in half and then into smaller pieces.

Place the meat in a bowl, add 1 teaspoon of salt and freshly ground black pepper, and mix. Cover and let it sit to absorb the seasoning.

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil over medium-high heat until hot.

Add the beef to the skillet, spreading it out without mixing, and sear undisturbed for a couple of minutes until browned.

Transfer the beef to a bowl and cover it to keep warm.

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of salted butter, melting it.

Add 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped, and stir.

Grate 3 large garlic cloves directly into the pan and stir to combine.

Add 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce and 1 tablespoon of Maggie seasoning to deglaze the pan, stirring well.

Optionally add a little ground cayenne for heat.

Pour in 3 cups of low sodium beef broth and turn the heat to high, bringing it to a boil.

While waiting for the broth to boil, prepare a slurry by mixing 1/4 cup of water with 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth.

Once the broth is boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes, semi-covered.

In a separate large saucepan, add 2 quarts of water and bring it to a boil.

Add 12 oz of hearty egg noodles to the boiling water, stirring to prevent sticking, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes on medium heat.

After 10 minutes, drain the egg noodles and add 1 tablespoon of salted butter, stirring to coat.

After the broth has simmered for 10 minutes, add the slurry to the skillet, stirring with a wire whisk.

Increase heat to medium and stir until the mixture thickens.

Add the beef back into the skillet with all its juices and let it cook in the gravy on low heat for 10 minutes, semi-covered, stirring halfway through.

After 10 minutes, turn off the heat and cover the skillet to keep warm.
