Ingredients

Scale

Beef

  • 8 oz flank or sirloin steak, thinly sliced against the grain

Noodles

  • 8 oz egg noodles or lo mein noodles
  • 1 tsp sesame oil (for tossing noodles)

Vegetables

  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 3 green onions, sliced (plus extra for garnish)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced

Sauce

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • Optional: 1/4 tsp chili flakes

Oils

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for stir-frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Noodles and Beef: Boil the noodles according to package instructions until tender but still slightly firm. Drain and toss with sesame oil to prevent sticking. Thinly slice the beef against the grain and set aside.
  2. Stir-Fry the Beef: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the beef slices in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes until just browned but not fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  3. Cook the Vegetables: In the same pan, add more oil if needed. Add minced garlic and ginger, stir-fry briefly until fragrant. Add bell pepper, snap peas, carrot, and half the green onions. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes to keep vegetables crisp-tender and colorful.
  4. Combine Beef, Noodles, and Sauce: Return beef to the pan with vegetables, add the cooked noodles. Pour soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and optional chili flakes over everything. Toss together over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until noodles absorb sauce and ingredients are evenly coated.
  5. Final Touches and Serve: Turn off heat and sprinkle remaining sliced green onions on top. Give a gentle final toss and serve immediately while hot and flavorful.

Notes

  • Use high heat for quick cooking to keep vegetables crisp and beef tender.
  • Slice beef thinly and uniformly for even cooking and tender texture.
  • Prep all ingredients before cooking to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook beef in batches if necessary to achieve a good sear.
  • Adjust soy and oyster sauce amounts to taste for saltiness and sweetness.
  • Optional garnishes: toasted sesame seeds, cilantro, lime wedges.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
  • Freeze portions up to 1 month; thaw overnight before reheating.
  • Reheat gently in a skillet with splash of water or microwave covered to retain moisture.
