Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) of beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
- 8 oz (225g) chow mein noodles or Chinese egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup sliced bell peppers
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup sliced green onions
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional for extra richness)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: red chili flakes for heat
Instructions
- Start by thinly slicing the beef against the grain. Marinate with a tablespoon of soy sauce and a teaspoon of sesame oil for 10 minutes.
- Cook the chow mein or egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, carrots, and green onions, sautéing until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Add the marinated beef to the same skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 3-5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Return beef and vegetables to the skillet. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and black pepper. Toss well to combine. Fold in cooked noodles until evenly coated with sauce.
- Garnish with additional green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Use a wok or large skillet for high heat and even cooking.
- Thinly slice the beef for quicker cooking and better tenderness.
- Vary the vegetables based on what you have—snap peas, mushrooms, or broccoli work well.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos.
