Ingredients

Scale

Beef and 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

Main & Garnishes

  • 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 sliced flank steak with 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until each slice is well-coated. Set aside and allow the beef to marinate for 10-15 minutes to enhance its tenderness and flavor.
  2. Make the Sauce: In another 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, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger until well combined. Set this sticky, savory sauce mixture aside.
  3. Cook the Noodles: Prepare 8 ounces of egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles thoroughly and set them 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 slices and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until they are browned on the outside and nearly cooked through.
  5. Cook the Vegetables: Add the thinly sliced bell pepper, onion, and 1/2 cup of snap peas or green beans to the skillet. Stir-fry together with the beef for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the vegetables to become tender-crisp while retaining some crunch.
  6. Combine and Serve: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet along with the prepared sauce. Toss everything together thoroughly, ensuring the noodles and ingredients are coated evenly in the sticky, flavorful sauce and heated through.
  7. Garnish and Enjoy: Transfer the sticky beef noodles to serving plates, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added texture and fresh flavor before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add some red chili flakes or sliced fresh chili to the sauce.
  • You can substitute flank steak with sirloin or skirt steak for similar results.
  • Use gluten-free soy sauce to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Vegetables can be swapped or added according to preference, such as carrots or broccoli.
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat nicely in a skillet or microwave.
