Description
Tender beef strips in a glossy, sweet‑savory sauce tossed with noodles and crisp vegetables — a comforting one‑pan stir‑fry dish.
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (for sauce)
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 8 ounces egg noodles (or your noodle of choice)
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup snap peas or green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, toss the sliced beef with 2 tablespoons soy sauce and cornstarch until evenly coated. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the sauce.
- Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, tossing with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium‑high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook for 2–3 minutes until browned and nearly cooked through.
- Add the bell pepper, onion, and snap peas (or green beans) and stir‑fry for another 2–3 minutes until vegetables are tender‑crisp.
- Add the cooked noodles and the prepared sauce to the pan. Toss everything together until the noodles are coated and heated through.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For added heat, drizzle with chili oil or add red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- You can substitute the beef with chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a different variation.
- Add more vegetables such as carrots or broccoli for extra nutrition.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if needed.
- This recipe can be doubled and frozen; thaw overnight and reheat gently.
