Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams beef (flank steak or sirloin)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger (minced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 300 grams chow mein or egg noodles
- 1 medium carrot (julienned)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (sliced)
- 3 stalks green onions (sliced)
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef against the grain and place it in a bowl.
In the bowl with the beef, add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Mix well and let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
While the beef marinates, cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, prepare the stir-fry sauce by mixing oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat.
Add the marinated beef to the wok, spreading it out into a single layer. Sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until just cooked. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Stir in the minced ginger and garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Toss in the carrot and red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
Add the cooked noodles, bean sprouts, and green onions to the wok. Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the top.
Toss everything together, ensuring the noodles and vegetables are coated evenly in the sauce.
Return the cooked beef to the wok and stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.
Season with black pepper to taste and serve hot.
