Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 8 oz (225g) rice or egg noodles
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch ginger, grated
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Submerge noodles in boiling water according to package timing, ensuring al dente texture. Drain thoroughly and reserve.
- Massage beef slices with soy sauce and cornstarch, allowing marinade to penetrate for approximately 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Craft a vibrant sauce by whisking together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin, honey, and beef broth until smooth and glossy.
- Ignite a wok or large skillet over intense heat, adding vegetable oil. Sear marinated beef swiftly until caramelized edges form, approximately 2-3 minutes. Transfer protein to a separate plate.
- In the same scorching pan, introduce aromatics like garlic and ginger. Rapidly toss bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli, creating a colorful vegetable medley until crisp-tender.
- Reunite beef with sizzling vegetables, cascade prepared sauce, and introduce reserved noodles. Toss vigorously, ensuring every strand absorbs the glossy, umami-rich coating.
- Elevate the dish with a delicate drizzle of sesame oil, scatter freshly chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately while piping hot.
Notes
- Marinate beef for at least 10 minutes to ensure tender, flavorful meat that absorbs the soy sauce and cornstarch coating.
- Use high heat when stir-frying to achieve a quick sear on beef and vegetables, creating a delicious caramelized exterior without overcooking.
- Cut vegetables and beef into uniform, bite-sized pieces to guarantee even cooking and a balanced texture in every bite.
- Customize the dish by swapping beef with tofu or chicken for a versatile, diet-friendly meal that suits different preferences and nutritional needs.
