A 30-minute beef noodle stir-fry with a glossy sticky sauce, tender beef, and crunchy vegetables.

  • Total Time: 30 mins
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) wide egg noodles
  • 8 oz (225 g) beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 cup beef or chicken broth
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas or broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Sesame seeds and chopped scallions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles in salted water until al dente; drain and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, toss beef with cornstarch and a pinch of salt.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear beef until browned, 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add garlic and ginger; sauté 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in soy, oyster, hoisin, honey, and broth to make the sauce.
  5. Cook pepper and snap peas in the skillet 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.
  6. Return beef and sauce to the pan; simmer until sauce thickens and coats the noodles, 1-2 minutes.
  7. Add noodles, toss to combine, and season to taste. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Tip: For extra gloss, whisk a teaspoon of cornstarch with a little broth before adding it to the sauce to emulsify.
  • Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
