Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 lb (454 g) ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 14 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey (or brown sugar)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional, for heat)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Noodles and Vegetables:
- 2 packs (14 oz / 397 g each) fresh or frozen udon noodles (pre-cooked)
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 12 cup bell peppers, thinly sliced
- 12 cup sliced onions
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (for a crispy sear, optional)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare the Blackstone griddle by heating it to a medium-high temperature around 400F, then lightly coat the surface with vegetable oil for optimal cooking.
- Create a flavor-packed marinade by combining soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, black pepper, and cornstarch with thinly sliced steak. Allow the meat to absorb the seasonings for approximately 10 minutes.
- Craft a complex stir-fry sauce by whisking together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sriracha, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a separate bowl.
- Place the marinated steak onto the sizzling griddle, cooking each side for 2-3 minutes until a rich caramelized exterior develops. Carefully move the meat to one section of the cooking surface.
- Introduce sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions to the open griddle space. Sauté the vegetables for 3-4 minutes, ensuring they become tender but retain a slight crispness.
- Spread pre-cooked udon noodles across the griddle, drizzling half of the prepared sauce over them. Use spatulas to toss and coat the noodles, allowing them to develop a light caramelization.
- Integrate the seared steak, sautéed vegetables, and seasoned noodles together. Pour the remaining sauce over the mixture and continue stir-frying for an additional 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Elevate the dish’s presentation by garnishing with freshly chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve the udon immediately while piping hot for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Marinate the steak for maximum flavor absorption by letting it sit in the soy sauce mixture longer, up to 30 minutes for deeper taste penetration.
- Use high-quality, thinly sliced beef like sirloin or flank steak to ensure tender, quick-cooking meat that caramelizes beautifully on the griddle.
- Choose fresh udon noodles from the refrigerated section for better texture and authentic Japanese taste compared to dried versions.
- Adjust spice levels by controlling sriracha amount or replacing with chili oil for a personalized heat profile that suits individual preferences.
