Ingredients

Units Scale

Beef Marinade

  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

Other Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 8 ounces egg noodles (or other noodles of choice)
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup snap peas or green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef: In a small bowl, toss the thinly sliced flank steak with 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until evenly coated. Let it marinate for 10 to 15 minutes to absorb flavor and tenderize the beef.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set the sauce aside for later.
  3. Cook the Noodles: Boil the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside to keep warm.
  4. Stir-Fry the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned and nearly cooked through.
  5. Cook the Vegetables: Add the thinly sliced bell pepper, onion, and snap peas (or green beans) to the skillet with the beef. Stir-fry for another 2 to 3 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  6. Combine and Finish: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet along with the prepared sauce. Toss everything together thoroughly so the noodles and all ingredients are coated evenly and heated through.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Transfer to plates and garnish with optional sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added flavor and a beautiful finish. Serve immediately for best taste.

Notes

  • For more tender beef, slice the flank steak against the grain very thinly.
  • Feel free to substitute egg noodles with rice noodles, udon, or even spaghetti in a pinch.
  • Adjust the brown sugar amount if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet sauce.
  • Use snap peas or green beans based on availability or preference; both add crisp texture.
  • Optional sesame seeds and green onions add nice texture and color but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
