Ingredients
For the Beef:
- 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
For the Sauce:
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
For the Noodles and Vegetables:
- 8 oz egg noodles (or preferred noodles)
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup snap peas or green beans
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix sliced beef with soy sauce and cornstarch. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes. This will help tenderize the beef and infuse it with flavor.
- In another bowl, whisk together sauce ingredients and set aside. Mixing the sauce beforehand will make the cooking process smoother.
- Cook noodles as per package instructions, drain, and set aside. Ensure the noodles are cooked al dente for the perfect texture.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. A hot pan is essential for a good stir-fry.
- Add marinated beef and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned. Cooking quickly over high heat will keep the beef tender.
- Add bell pepper, onion, and snap peas. Stir-fry for another 2–3 minutes. Keep the vegetables crisp for texture.
- Add cooked noodles and sauce to the skillet. Toss everything to coat evenly. Make sure everything is well coated with the delicious sauce.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve hot. The garnishes add extra flavor and a nice finish to the dish.
Notes
- Slice beef thin and against the grain for tenderness.
- Adjust sweetness or saltiness in the sauce to your taste.
- Double the sauce if you prefer extra sticky noodles.
