Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams beef (sirloin or flank steak)
- 250 grams egg noodles
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 3 units garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon ginger (minced)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 unit carrot (julienned)
- 1 unit bell pepper (sliced)
- 2 units green onions (sliced)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 125 milliliters water or beef broth
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the beef thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips. Place the slices into a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, brown sugar, remaining cornstarch, sesame oil, and water or beef broth to create a sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef strips and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned and just cooked. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the julienned carrot and sliced bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened but still crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet, and pour in the sauce. Stir well to combine and let the sauce thicken for 1-2 minutes.
Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce.
Turn off the heat, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired, and serve hot.
