Ingredients
- 300 grams lean beef sirloin
- 200 grams rice noodles
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 150 grams broccoli florets
- 1 large carrot
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1.5 cups unsalted chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Slice the lean beef sirloin into thin strips and set aside.
Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions, drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Pour half over the beef strips, tossing to coat evenly.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and sliced carrot. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the beef to the skillet and add the cooked rice noodles and the remaining half of the soy sauce mixture.
In a separate bowl, mix the unsalted chicken broth and cornstarch until smooth. Pour into the skillet and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
Add sliced green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Toss everything to combine thoroughly.
Serve the beef rice noodles hot, ensuring each serving includes a mix of beef, noodles, and vegetables.
