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

  • 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

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional)
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef: In a small bowl, toss the sliced flank steak with 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until evenly coated. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes to tenderize and absorb flavor.
  2. Make the Sauce: In another 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 aside to blend the flavors.
  3. Cook the Noodles: Prepare the egg noodles according to the package instructions, typically boiling for about 4-5 minutes until tender. Drain 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 2-3 minutes until browned and nearly cooked through, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
  5. Cook the Vegetables: Add the thinly sliced bell pepper, onion, and snap peas or green beans to the pan with the beef. Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly caramelized.
  6. Combine and Toss: Add the cooked noodles and prepared sauce to the skillet. Toss all ingredients together thoroughly until the noodles are evenly coated with the sticky sauce and heated through.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for a fresh and crunchy finish. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Flank steak is best for quick stir-frying due to its tenderness when sliced thin against the grain.
  • You can substitute oyster sauce with mushroom stir-fry sauce for a vegetarian alternative.
  • Adjust the amount of brown sugar based on your preference for sweetness.
  • Use fresh ginger and garlic for the most vibrant flavor.
  • Egg noodles can be swapped out for rice noodles or udon noodles.
  • For a gluten-free option, use tamari sauce instead of soy sauce and gluten-free oyster sauce.
