Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 pound (1 lb) beef sirloin, thinly sliced
Noodles and Vegetables:
- 8 ounces (8 oz) egg noodles or rice noodles
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece ginger, grated
Sauce and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Prepare the noodles according to package guidelines, drain thoroughly, and set aside at room temperature.
- Craft a harmonious sauce by whisking together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and cornstarch mixture until smooth and well-integrated.
- Preheat a wok or large skillet over high heat with cooking oil, ensuring the surface is extremely hot before adding beef strips.
- Sear beef quickly, stirring constantly to achieve a rich caramelized exterior, then transfer to a separate plate to prevent overcooking.
- In the same scorching pan, introduce minced garlic and ginger, allowing them to release their aromatic essence for 30 seconds.
- Rapidly stir-fry bell peppers and broccoli for 2-3 minutes, maintaining their vibrant color and crisp texture.
- Reintroduce the beef to the vegetable mixture, creating a dynamic culinary landscape.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the ingredients, continuously tossing to ensure every morsel becomes glazed and glistening.
- Incorporate the reserved noodles, gently folding them into the mixture to absorb the rich, sticky sauce.
- Finish the dish by sprinkling toasted sesame seeds and finely chopped green onions for a fresh, crunchy garnish.
Notes
- Choose tender cuts like sirloin or flank steak for the most succulent beef texture.
- Slice beef against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness and easier chewing.
- Use high heat and work quickly when stir-frying to maintain vegetable crispness and prevent overcooking.
- Customize the sauce’s sweetness by adjusting brown sugar levels or substituting with honey for a different flavor profile.
