Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsps soy sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp rice wine or dry sherry
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp minced ginger
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 8 oz (225g) egg noodles or thin noodles
- 2 tbsps vegetable oil
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsps soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 2–3 green onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Combine beef with soy sauce, cornstarch, rice wine, sesame oil, minced ginger, and crushed garlic. Allow to marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature to enhance flavor absorption.
- Prepare noodles according to package directions, ensuring they remain slightly al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Whisk hoisin sauce, additional seasonings, and liquid ingredients in a separate mixing bowl until smooth and well-integrated.
- Heat wok or large skillet over high heat with a thin layer of cooking oil. Quickly sear marinated beef until edges caramelize and interior turns golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Remove beef and set aside. In same wok, stir-fry mixed vegetables rapidly, maintaining their vibrant color and crisp texture.
- Return beef to wok, add prepared noodles and premixed sauce. Toss ingredients thoroughly, ensuring even coating and consistent heat distribution.
- Transfer to serving platter, generously sprinkle with thinly sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds for added texture and visual appeal.
Notes
- Optimize meat tenderness by slicing against the grain, ensuring each bite remains juicy and easily chewable.
- Use gluten-free tamari instead of soy sauce for a celiac-friendly alternative without compromising authentic flavor profile.
- Choose rice noodles or zucchini noodles as low-carb substitutions that maintain the dish’s delicious texture and Asian-inspired essence.
- For enhanced umami depth, consider adding a splash of mirin or a teaspoon of oyster sauce during the stir-frying process to elevate overall taste complexity.
