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

Main Dish

  • 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 each slice is evenly coated. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes to tenderize and enhance flavor.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine 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. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
  3. Cook the Noodles: Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes. Drain well and set aside, keeping them warm.
  4. Stir-Fry the Beef and Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned on the outside and nearly cooked through. Add the sliced bell pepper, onion, and snap peas, continuing to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
  5. Combine and Serve: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet along with the prepared sauce. Toss all ingredients thoroughly to coat the noodles and beef with the sticky sauce, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through and glossy.
  6. Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top just before serving to add a pop of flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add chili flakes or sliced fresh chili to the sauce.
  • You can substitute flank steak with sirloin or skirt steak for similar results.
  • Feel free to use rice noodles or other noodle types if preferred.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos and ensure oyster sauce is gluten-free.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
