Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Sauce
- 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
Noodles
- 8 oz noodles (rice noodles or egg noodles)
Vegetables and Garnish
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside to prevent sticking.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the sesame oil until shimmering to infuse the dish with nutty flavor.
- Cook the Beef: Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is nicely browned and cooked through.
- Sauté Vegetables and Garlic: Add minced garlic, sliced red bell pepper, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables soften but still retain some crunch.
- Toss with Sauces and Noodles: Pour in the hoisin sauce and soy sauce then add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together thoroughly until the noodles and ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped green onions and optional sesame seeds for extra texture and flavor. Serve warm immediately for best taste.
Notes
- You can substitute beef sirloin with flank steak or thinly sliced chicken breast if preferred.
- Use rice noodles for a gluten-free option, ensuring the soy sauce is also gluten-free.
- For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of chili oil during cooking.
- Make sure not to overcook the vegetables to keep a nice crunch and vibrant color.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in a skillet or microwave within 2 days.
