Ingredients
300g beef flank steak, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon sesame oil
250g rice noodles or egg noodles
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
2 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
1. Toss the beef with soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch. Let it marinate while prepping other ingredients.
2. Cook noodles according to the package directions. Drain and toss with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking.
3. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned and caramelized. Remove and set aside.
4. In the same pan, stir-fry the bell peppers for 2 to 3 minutes until just tender.
5. Add the beef back to the pan with the noodles and green onions. Toss everything to combine. Add a splash of water if needed to loosen the sauce.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and extra green onions if desired.
Notes
Use thinly sliced beef so it cooks quickly and absorbs flavor.
Rice noodles are great for a gluten-free option.
To reheat, add a splash of water and stir-fry until hot.
