Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 0.5 pound (225 grams) beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
Sauce and Seasonings:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.25 cup hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (or extra soy sauce for a vegan option)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
- 0.25 cup water
Vegetables and Garnish:
- 8 ounces (225 grams) rice noodles or lo mein noodles
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup snap peas (or broccoli, carrots, or bok choy)
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Infuse the beef with a robust marinade by coating the slices in a blend of umami-rich soy sauce, cornstarch for tenderizing, and fragrant sesame oil. Allow the meat to absorb these flavors for a brief 10-minute interlude.
- Prepare the noodles by immersing them in boiling water, following the package guidance. Once tender, drain thoroughly and reserve for later integration.
- Craft a complex sauce by whisking together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, honey, fiery red pepper flakes, and a splash of water. The resulting mixture promises a harmonious balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy notes.
- Sear the marinated beef in a sizzling pan with vegetable oil, creating a golden-brown exterior that locks in succulent juices. Transfer the meat to a temporary holding area once achieved.
- Transform the same pan into a vibrant vegetable canvas by introducing minced garlic, grated ginger, crisp bell peppers, and tender snap peas. Stir-fry these ingredients until they reach a perfect state of slight crispness.
- Orchestrate the final composition by reuniting the cooked noodles, seared beef, and meticulously prepared sauce. Toss the ingredients with precision, ensuring each element is thoroughly coated and heated to perfection.
- Elevate the dish with a flourish of freshly chopped green onions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds, creating a visually appealing and flavor-packed culinary masterpiece.
Notes
- Marinate beef briefly to enhance tenderness and help meat absorb flavorful seasonings quickly.
- Choose thick-cut flank or sirloin steak for best texture and optimal meat slicing against the grain.
- Adjust spice levels by modifying red pepper flakes to suit personal heat preferences or dietary needs.
- Use gluten-free soy sauce and hoisin sauce for those with gluten sensitivities to make recipe adaptable.
