Ingredients

Scale

Beef Marinade

  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons soy 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

Other Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 8 ounces egg noodles (or other noodles of choice)
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup snap peas or green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef: In a small bowl, toss the sliced flank steak with 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until the beef is evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes to ensure the beef absorbs the flavors and tenderizes.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set this sauce mixture aside for easy incorporation later.
  3. Cook the Noodles: Prepare the egg noodles according to the package instructions, usually boiling them until tender. Drain the noodles well and set aside to prevent sticking.
  4. Stir-Fry the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until the beef is browned and nearly cooked through but still tender.
  5. Add Vegetables: Add the thinly sliced bell pepper, sliced onion, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry everything together for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender and vibrant.
  6. Combine and Serve: Add the cooked noodles and reserved sauce into the skillet. Toss all the ingredients together thoroughly until the noodles are well coated with the sticky sauce and heated through evenly.
  7. Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the top for a final burst of flavor and texture just before serving.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • You can substitute flank steak with sirloin or skirt steak for similar results.
  • Feel free to swap vegetables based on seasonal availability, such as broccoli or carrots.
  • If you prefer gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce and gluten-free oyster sauce alternatives.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated on the stovetop or in the microwave.
