Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g soba noodles
- 400 g beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
- 60 ml tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 45 ml maple syrup
- 15 ml rice vinegar
- 15 ml sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
- 3 scallions (thinly sliced)
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 15 ml neutral oil (like vegetable or grapeseed)
- 500 ml water
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and cook according to package instructions (typically 5-7 minutes). Drain, rinse under cold water to stop the cooking, and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together tamari, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
Season the sliced beef with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the neutral oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Add the seasoned beef to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, pour in the tamari and maple syrup mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until the sauce starts to thicken slightly.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring the beef is warmed through and glazed with the sauce.
Divide the soba noodles among serving bowls. Top with the glazed beef and drizzle any extra sauce from the skillet over the noodles.
Garnish with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
