Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces lean beef sirloin
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 12 ounces fresh rice noodles
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Slice the lean beef sirloin into thin strips and place in a bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and water to create a marinade.
Pour marinade over the beef strips, mixing well to coat. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated beef strips and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
To the same skillet, add another tablespoon of canola oil if needed, then add the minced garlic and sliced onion. Stir-fry until fragrant, approximately 1-2 minutes.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until vegetables are just tender but still crisp.
Add the fresh rice noodles and beef back to the skillet, tossing gently to combine.
Add the bean sprouts and sesame oil, continuing to stir-fry everything together for another 2 minutes until all ingredients are heated through.
Season with ground black pepper and sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your heart-healthy Beef Chow Fun!
